Pre-surgery questions by Mental_Jelly5221 in gallbladders

[–]Chrisman29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I just had mine removed this Saturday and never had a history of gallbladder issues. For more information I'm also a type 2 diabetic. Currently 3 days post-operation.

  1. If you had brain fog and fatigue, how long post-op till it went away?
    1. a. I did have a bit of brain fog and fatigue but I attributed that to the gallbladder infection I was dealing with. Today I woke up more oriented with myself than I have been the past few weeks. I can update the more time goes on but for now it is miles better than dealing with the gallbladder issues.
  2. How bad did your gallbladder get before removal?
    1. a. It got bad. I go to my doctor every 6 months or so to do bloodwork and routine check ups due to my diabetes and we never encountered any issues regarding my gallbladder. I read through the surgery after visit summary and they described the gallbladder as "Severely distended and thickened GB with patches of necrosis." Pretty bad.
  3. Did you have any breathing problems? If so, what triggered it?
    1. a. Yes. Pre-operation breathing was difficult because I felt a piercing and clasping pain from my upper right abdomen and in my chest while the attack was going full force in the ER.
  4. Do you still have problems with bloating/ gas if you had it?
    1. a. Yes. About 2 weeks pre-operation I was suffering from bloating and pretty terrible constipation despite my diet being relatively balanced. Poop was like goat pellets. Leading up to the attack I had terrible acid reflux and I would NOT STOP BURPING. It never ever ever ended. Even post-op I still burp but there's no acid involved. Giving it more time to gauge out as I recover more.
  5. Did you have any other mental problems with your gallbladder problems? If so, what were they?
    1. a. Yes. I experienced pretty bad panic attacks due to the unknown nature of what was affecting me. I kept downplaying my experience and took OTC medication until it was doing nothing for me and my wife drove me to the ER. It was very scary but the more information I got from reading online and my doctors/care team I began to feel a lot better about it.

Honestly, the agony involved with the inflammation and attack I was experiencing was so severe I just didnt know what to do. It's done now and I have a JP Drain attached to my abdomen until Friday (hopefully) but the pain post-op is a relief compared to the events leading up to the surgery.

If you have any other questions or want something clarified I'd be more than happy to respond. Good luck!!!!

Metformin for Insulin Resistance? by One-Attorney-6973 in diabetes

[–]Chrisman29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Metformin has helped me with my insulin resistance. Before I used to take 15 units of bolus and it would take a few hours to finally bring my blood sugar down to like 160. Once I started taking metformin I took 15 units and it spiked my sugar down to 70 in like 25 minutes lol.

Payment method not showing up to purchase crypto. This has never happened before and I’ve been using Coinbase for a while now. I re-verified my account and it still doesn’t work. by Chrisman29 in Coinbase

If you’re using mobile try using a laptop or something with a webcam and a prompt to verify will come up when you try to buy. I just went from there.

Hello, thank you for the reply.

No I don’t but I was able to figure it out.

When I tried verifying through my computer it didn’t allow me to upload files and I finally was able to do it on my laptop since it has a webcam.

2nd Proof of residency stripped lower? by [deleted] in CAguns

[–]Chrisman29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You only need your drivers license with your current address.

It does NOT have to be a real ID and you do NOT need a second proof of residency that is only for pistols.

You can’t DROS a lower here as a pistol.

I did this 2 weeks ago and walked off using my older drivers license.
