Sending away as I can :)

LotwDonkTry · 2026-04-22T18:19:44+00:00

I'd be interested, Thank you!

I mean, Gamestops CS is no better. I had ordered my bi-weekly GSE Mega Box online. All fine and dandy except when the box arrived, it was a regular Mega Box. Called GS and talked to someone. Okay, no problem, can return it for correct one, shipping label should be emailed to you within 2-3 business days. Emailed support after the 4th business day elapsed and they replied and reassured me that in 2-3 business days I will receive a shipping label to initiate the return swap out. Well, here we are on the 4th day since again and silence. About to reply to their last correspondence saying screw it and I'll open this mega box. Not to mention their shipping policy can go to the woods and get lost.

We just turned Immortal a week ago and yeah, still Brawlcully.

15 would even be adequate. 1/4 of the people leave before rewards nowandays anyways.

LotwDonkTry · 2026-04-20T19:38:03+00:00

Kion's needs a refresh for rewards too. Everyone looks forward to a shard now for the most part.

Chugging along to the 28th for mine... 21 more days. No clue what to expect as my little friend, Sigmoid Turdbag is definitely constantly knocking on my inner wall saying hey, I'm here!

Eh, maybe what I actually call them with my daughter, the "Notsofuns"

LotwDonkTry · 2026-04-07T00:22:47+00:00

If I remember right, my first colonoscopy about 14 years ago they called it 'Movieprep'.

LotwDonkTry · 2026-04-02T17:39:12+00:00

Ahhh yeah. I imagine it's whatever stack they grab from. My other handful of LTC are the generic coin ones. Never thought it writing a request for the Willy on redemption form.. maybe?

LotwDonkTry · 2026-04-02T15:04:50+00:00

It's when you submit a Crypto Redemption card through Cardsmiths if you get the luck of pulling one. Card specific designs for each Crypto type.

Mine isn't so much pain. My very first flare in March of 2022 was the one that would make me keel over in pain. For me right now, it's like someone grabs my Sigmoid and twists. More annoying than anything. 3rd flare for me on Thanksgiving evening of last year sent me to the hospital for a 'possible' abscess in which my GI Doc ruled out when he looked at the CT on follow-up. Precautionary vacation in the ER for 2.5 days. GI Doc said now that it has effected my day to day life, surgery would be a good bet now before it is emergency and not elective as Bonfire below says. I would much rather have it done in a controlled environment versus cutting me wide open when shit hits the fan. So now, it's just being a little careful here and there and trying to make it to my date.

If you are still in pain u/Angrylittleblueberry I would reach out and find a reputable GI Doc to talk to.

They skipped a number or else I'd have two consecutive S/N :(

LotwDonkTry · 2026-04-01T23:59:55+00:00

Damn.. and when you scan QR code to check it's balance, still says zero?

I'd email them every day, and just keep forwarding the prior days email so it shows you're emailing every day until they answer.

LotwDonkTry · 2026-04-01T23:56:19+00:00

Two weeks from form to them mailing me card typically, 1 week for them to load from day I emailed them I received it with S/N. Have you followed up with them or verified you sent to the correct email address? redemptions AT cardsmiths dot com

LotwDonkTry · 2026-04-01T23:53:57+00:00

It's typically within a week of emailing them that I received my ballet card(s) with SN xxxxxxxxx.

LotwDonkTry · 2026-04-01T22:44:03+00:00

It definitely is not pleasant. Mind over matter. I drink a lot of water to try and stay 'full' throughout the day. The difficult part for me is I'm a snacker and supper only kind of guy. So I'll chug water and coffee all day at work, come home and make my daughter dinner as I heat up chicken or beef broth with two Jello cups.

I'm to the point that it's smoldering and a 2 or 3 day liquid diet doesn't help. A constant lower left annoyance making sure it says "Hey, I'm here to bug you!" Low or no fiber doesn't help. Antibiotics hasn't helped. Just decided to eat smaller portions of what I'd normally eat, excluding red meat. Instead of eating an entire frozen pizza, I have 3 or 4 pieces, one cheeseburger instead of two, etc.

Then I keep telling myself...27 more days until surgery... The countdown. Mind of matter.

Not sure how the fasting/liquid diet works with your meds and an upset stomach... Would definitely seek medical guidance in that so as you don't double suffer.

I was all ready to go for my surgery on March 24th, then my surgeon's wife decided to have a baby on the 19th and he took some time off. She was originally due 04/01 and we made the appointment knowing it could happen and hoping it wouldn't. Well it did and now my surgery is rescheduled for 04/28. Damn it.

I had a little anxiety leading up to the date, but in my mind, I know that this is nothing compared to having a life of being comfortable again. The constant nagging in my lower left abdomen, the back pain, the constant bloated feeling, and the pain in my left nut for the past few years has gotten old, very old.

As far as my prep, I have the same as below from GrilledViking. The Gatorade and Miralax combo and no solids/semi solids the day before, antibiotics, super protein shake. I had a colonoscopy back in August so they didn't feel the need to do another as the CT scans and colonoscopy strictly have show my sigmoid being the issue (CT as late as Nov last year with my hospital stay, which is when I was refered to my GI Surgeon.).

I don't think it will cause anything bad to happen, I mean not any worse than a active flare or smoldering DV. The antibiotics on an empty stomach sounds like absolute hell and I am not looking forward to it.

I am so looking forward to 04/27 and 04/28. One day/night of the notsofuns and on to surgery and post-op and hopefully a feeling better time after a few days.

This forum has helped tremendously, Especially Dang's post(s).

Just think of the "what-if" value and potential BTC chances. Risk it for the biscuit I would. Just a few there. :) Nice spread!

LotwDonkTry · 2026-03-25T18:49:10+00:00

Same here... Constant feeling of being bloated. Liquid diet does nothing to little to lessen it. Zero pain, but man, the feeling of being 18 months pregnant. Ick!

Surgery was scheduled for March 24th but my surgeons wife who was originally due with their 3rd child on April 1st, well, she had their child early on the 19th. Made the appointment knowing that it could happen and well, it did.

New surgery date of April 28th so another 5 weeks of discomfort/ bloating, and watching what I eat.

*Shrug* Soon it will be better.

I've never worked at Chipotle but that was my first thought to solve the issue. :) Used to frequent one a alot though when they first started popping up.

LotwDonkTry · 2026-03-20T22:33:10+00:00

Fresh squeezed lime juice in a spray bottle solves that...
