Guest guest Posted July 28, 1999 Report Share Posted July 28, 1999 Kathy If it is a yeast/fungal infection try Zeeasorb (sp) anti fungal powder. My son kept getting yeast type infections in his diaper area and this worked wonders. I have used it under my boobs and in various creases. It worked like a charm. I did have to ask the pharmasist (sp) to order it however. Good luck Kim in VA " doin' the insurance dance " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 1999 Report Share Posted July 28, 1999 I'm no doctor (so this, of course, can't beconsidered a diagnosis or anything - LOL) But, I wonder if it's a yeast infection. Sorta sounds like it. Can you call in to your PCP's office or a nurse help line or something to get a suggestion to try? (I wonder if some of the OTC stuff like Monistat would work on it?? Not sure) - maybe one of the nurses on this list can answer more intelligently. Good luck. Beth Kathy wrote: > > From: thestewarts@...

Guest guest Posted October 26, 1999 Report Share Posted October 26, 1999 Dee in NC, this is Dee in MI: how difficult this must be for you. You are wrapped in our love and prayers, Dee. There isn't any one among us who hasn't " frozen " at some decision point. When you think of this, think of it as an opportunity: you're going to get to do this in stages! You got to the OR doors this time; next time, you'll get through those doors and back up to your own room all ready to be the new person you really want to be. Yes, you can face Dr. R. again. First, you need to let yourself off the hook of guilt and self-condemnation. The little girl inside you was terrified. You had mercy on her and let her stop outside the OR doors. Now sit with her until she's strong again...and take her hand and help her go all the way through those doors the next time. You can do it, Dee...we're lifting you in prayer.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 1999 Report Share Posted October 26, 1999 Dee, I am so sorry for what has happend. Maybe you should talk to a counselor about your fears. I am not a bit afraid, not one tiny little bit. I have complete confidence in Dr Rutledge and I haven't even met him yet!!!! But I have listened and read and listend and read and read the online testimonies about how he has helped soooooooooooooooooo many people that I know he can help you and me!!!! May I ask your age?? I am 55 and that may make a difference. I have had 2 children, and a hysterectomy in the years gone by. I have said many many prayers about this and I feel confident that this is what God wants me to do. My family all agree. Is your family supporting you to do this?? If ever you need someone to encourage you please call on me as I am positive this is something that will change your life for good and that it will be the greatest blessing that has happened to anyone that is desperate to lose weight. I have nothing to fear for God is with me and with you. My faith in God reminds me that God has been, still is, and ever will be guiding and inspiring us along our way, through every moment of our lives. We are safe and secure, for we are protected by a loving, always-present Creator. Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 1999 Report Share Posted October 26, 1999 Dee: I am having my surgery on Nov. 29. If you want we can go together. I have had many surgeries and am a calm cucumber and maybe we can be roomies. I will be happy to share the experience. I am very excited but I understand your fear and it could happen to any of us. That's what happens to me when I have to climb a ladder. I do not deal with heights at all. Keep praying for peace and try doing some calming self-therapy. Think about the most relaxing place you have ever been. Like laying on the beach at sunset or in a field with the wind blowing or whatever and kind of train yourself to transfer yourself to that place at will. Then maybe you can get through those doors. Also, ask Dr.R if he can give you anything for your nerves before the surgery. That can be done in many cases. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 1999 Report Share Posted October 26, 1999 Dee, good luck. I understand more than i can probably transmit through these words. The closer the date for me gets the more petrified i am becoming the biggest thing for me is not only is this the thing that is gonna save my life (medical reasons) and give me a life for the first time free of weight... but i have money invested and dogs that have been setup to be kenneled and airline tickets and a mother that would kill me if i backed out now so i try to take it minute by minute.. day by day .. one breath at a time when i get too overwhelmed. I know this surgery is not anymore dangerous than the open hysterectomy i had 3 years ago but it sure does feel that way at times. I think the best thing for me is to just let go. course i know how much easier that is to say than do. I am sure if you ask debbie she would agree as i probably call her every other day .. for really no reason other than i just don't know what to do with myself I'll be there on the 13th .. maybe you could have it then and the two chickens can cluck together ok bad joke...

Guest guest Posted October 26, 1999 Report Share Posted October 26, 1999 Dee, I am sorry that happened to you! You must have been so scared!! I can understand your feelings but I can honestly tell you, as scared as I was, going through with this surgery has been the very best gift I have ever received. Good luck and I wish you the best in your decision! Dr. R will understand so don't be afraid to face him! He is a compassionate person! in AL MGB 8/2/99 42 1/4 lb. gone so far!

Guest guest Posted October 26, 1999 Report Share Posted October 26, 1999 Dee, sweetheart, no need to be embarrassed. It is ok that you changed your mind. We are here for you ever need to chat with anyone one on one, I would love to do that for you. I have not been on the list but maybe a week myself. I know for myself I need to have this done or die. I am 5ft and weight in at 286 and counting. I guess my fears are not being able to eat again, I know that is silly but it is a fear of mine. The other one is that the last time I had surgery. On of my lungs collapsed. It was so scary. I kept telling them that I couldn't breath and they sent me home. With in the hours I was back at the hospital in the ER. That is my biggest fear. We are hear for you. It is going to ok. Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 26, 1999 Report Share Posted October 26, 1999 Dee, Don't beat yourself up over this. You have to feel right with things in order to go through with something like this. I hate pain and am a major wuss, my surgery is Thurs. If you want to email me afterwards or talk in the hosp I would be happy to. I will give you all the details. Dr R does such a good job of teaching I can't imagine what I can add but you never know. I think somewhere deep down your'e a little uncertain that this is the right move for you. Just take a little time and really think things thru and don't let anyone influence you and I think you'll come to the right decision for you. good luck your'e in my thoughts anne hunt mgb 10/28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 1999 Report Share Posted October 26, 1999 Oh, Dee, I wish I knew the perfect words to say. Please don't back away from Dr. Rutledge. He is a VERY understanding, compassionate, professional person. I am not sure where the anxiety about surgery comes from but there are many possibilities to help with that. Surgery IS a very serious thing AND this procedure, by Dr. R., appears to be one of the safest procedures you can have. For me, I realized my life would probably be cut short without the surgery and I also feel reconciled with life and my God so death does not frighten me. I feel so for you and hope you come to peace with whatever decision you make.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 1999 Report Share Posted October 27, 1999 Dee, At the age of 17 I was poked and prodded and it was decided that I need surgery for an ovarian cyst. Maybe it was that my cousin( a doctor) answered all my questions maybe it was that medicine is a given to me and therefore not a mystery, I am not sure, but SOMETHING made it ok. Maybe it was my Faith that I still had things to do in my life and it would not be my time. I guess there is a calmness that settles over me that keeps me from getting nervous. I have since had two other surgeries and have felt the same. For me the information is helpful, I am a WHY person. This trait in my personality did not end with the age of three, if I do not understand what will happen I balk at doing things. Now, in Dr Rutledge you have someone who is very understanding of these issues and would probably explain everything to you. I would say that maybe you should explore the way the surgery is done more. Maybe you feel you have left things unsettled in a relationship or with a family member. I guess what I am trying to say is that if you need the surgery, you will do what it takes for YOU to take care of the issues that are causing you trouble and face this head-on. After waiting for my silly insurance company to ok this surgery I am so ready to do it that the readiness in itself is scary! LOL Do you honestly think in your heart of hearts that Dr R would see you any differently? I do not think so, he is a very understanding man. Do you believe that you will be left to drift about all by your lonsome after surgery? No, that is why Dr R chooses his staff so carefully. And when you are home again, that is what WE are for!!!!!!!! I am guessing that you just need to slow down a bit and let your mind catch up to your emotion:) If you want a play by play of what my cousin has told me and what I remember about surgery let me know. All of the surgeries were basically the same it was just a different area was a bit sore afterward:) I hope this has helped in some way, and know that fear is NORMAL you just need to figure out why and what you are afraid of specifically and then deal with it with Dr R,a friend, or family member. I wish you all the bestest and let me know if I can help :)Godspeed, Paige >From: gypsygal@... >Reply-To: MiniGastricBypassonelist >To: MiniGastricBypassonelist >Subject: Help >Date: 26 Oct 1999 21:37:38 -0000 > >OK, I've been debating on this message all day, but I know I need this >group more than ever.

Dee in NC >> Well, Dee, since you got right to the OR and decided not to go I would say wait until you are ready. I know Dr. R has a busy schedule, but I am sure that it is better to have backed out now if you didn't feel comfortable. What do you think is the problem? I have had several major operations and that part didn't alarm me especially since the anesthesia team came out and introduced themselves which they usuaully don't do in hospitals. I have to say my stay at Durham Regional was about the best ever...it was the best. I had complete confidence in the staff. Just know that God works through their hands and HE wouldn't have brought you this far. I say pray on this and write down all the steps before surgery. To me being wheeled into the OR was the easy part. Know you are in very competent hands. Rae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 1999 Report Share Posted October 27, 1999 , I read your post to Dee. I had the same fear about not being able to eat again but guess what? I do get to eat!! It is wonderful. I don't necessarily like some of the things that I did before, or at least not as much so I just don't want them. But if we go out with friends to dinner then I order a completely normal meal, just like the rest of them! I may only eat two bites of each thing but the fact is I still got to eat just like my friends. The only difference was the amount. Nothing has ever made me sick at all. The only thing I do not tolerate real well are things very high in sugar, they make me feel, not sick, but yucky! (Sorry, best word I could come up with!). I guess what I am rambling on about is, I had the same fear but now I don't worry because I eat a perfectly regular diet just like everyone else. I just don't eat as much. I do tend to choose healthier foods because as time goes on you are definitely more aware of what foods you put into your body. As someone once said, now we are eating to live instead of living to eat. Good luck! in AL MGB 8/2/99 42 1/4 gone so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 19, 1999 Report Share Posted November 19, 1999 Hiya , I ran into the same problem. The office I went to had never heard of this process. I told them that in order to have the surgery, my surgeon just wanted to be sure I wasn't suffering with any psychoses and that the psychiatrist would/could be available to help me through any rough times post-operatively. Now, I have to say that I did pay cash for the visit since the psychiatrist couldn't find a diagnosis code to fit my situation. That was fine with me although I guess he could have fudged it to have it covered. I just wasn't interested in having a " false " diagnosis out there. The psych office tried to reassure me that the doctors there were not surgeons and that I should go to a surgeon for pre-op clearance! LOL We both had a great laugh over that. You can also print out the web site page about what Dr. R wants in the psychiatrist's report to help the process along. I also took my manual with me for the psychiatrist to review. He actually quizzed me about the surgery to be sure I understood what was going to happen and that I was well informed. He was delighted for me and is waiting for the surgery as eagerly as I am! Go for it and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 19, 1999 Report Share Posted November 19, 1999 Hi everyone, I would really like to stress how very important it is to establish a life line to someone in the mental health field, whether it be a psychiatrist or psychologist. I thought I would be just fine after the surgery. Then about 6 weeks afterwards, I was feeling horrible, and I couldn't figure out why. I'd cry for no reason, be very irritable (just ask the husband and co-workers), all in all, I wanted to pull the covers over my head so I wouldn't be bothered by the world! With the help of friends and remembering what Dr.Rutledge said about depression, I made an appointment with the dr who evaluated me for the surgery. I'm so glad I did. I'v been diagnosed with clinical depression, put on Wellbutrin and all is right with the world again. I just can't believe the difference the medication and talking to someone has had on me. It's like night and day! I'm hoping that no one else has to go through this, but if you think you may be, then it is important to have established a connection before hand! Sometimes these things are out of our hands, but they can be managed! Just thought you might want to know from my standpoint why Dr. Rutledge insists on us having a psych evaluation. It can be of great importance to someone after the surgery. You never know who is going to suffer from depression and who isn't! Hope everyone is doing well! Both pre-ops and post-ops!

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 Hi Dana S. !! How nervous you must be and excited at the same time, but I agree with the advice already given that you can't be too careful. You really do need to see your doctor ASAP just so you can be assured all is where it should be. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you and hoping all is well.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 Hi Dana S, I know being pregnant again is scary and that bloodtests are unpleasant, but you really need to get to your doctor so that he can monitor you. Everyone here is all too familiar with the danger that an ep poses. After having one ep, we need to get checked early on in our subsequent pregnancies. Please call the doctor tomorrow and request an HCG test. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 I will, thank you for your response. I think I just don't want to admit to myself that it could happen again, even though I know the odds are stacked against me. When it happened the first time it felt like I was having a dream, and even to this day it seems like it happened to someone else. I know that sounds stupid, and I would NEVER wish this on someone else, it's just weird the tricks your mind can play on you...
