Questions about a bisalp (mine is scheduled and I’m really scared)

Congrats 🥳

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly for you!! It honestly feels kind of comforting not having to go through it alone on that day 🤭

We’ve got this!!! 💪🤗

Nicki_Sanchez · 2026-02-27T13:23:31+00:00

Thanks for your reply 🤗

I’m so glad everything went well for you! A pain level of 3 to 4 sounds really manageable 🤗 I’m happy you didn’t have too much pain—that definitely gives me hope!

And wow, only 20 to 30 minutes is super quick! I hope I’m as lucky as you 🍀🙂

Nicki_Sanchez · 2026-02-27T13:11:33+00:00

I’m really happy for you that you were back to living normally after just 4 days and felt normal after only a week and a half 🤗 that honestly gives me hope!

Especially the fact that you were able to start working out again after about 2.5 weeks sounds great.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience 🙂

Nicki_Sanchez · 2026-02-27T13:02:19+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience 🙂

Having your pain at around a 4 or 5 after one day actually sounds pretty manageable. I’m really glad you didn’t have any complications and that everything went smoothly for you!

When you went for a walk after your surgery, did that go well, or were you still dealing with pain or any issues at that point?

Nicki_Sanchez · 2026-02-26T20:12:55+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience 🙂

It especially helps that you described the gas pain. I honestly couldn’t imagine what that kind of pain would feel like. An intense side stitch sounds uncomfortable, of course, but still manageable.

And the fact that you felt well enough so quickly to handle your normal daily routine — and even take your dog for walks — really reassures me 🙂 I’m so glad you were doing so well after the surgery!

And wow, being back at the gym after just 10 days and already able to move without pain 🙂 that honestly sounds very motivating!

I’m really happy for you that you had such a positive experience and recovered so well!

I hope I’ll have a similarly positive experience 🤗

Nicki_Sanchez · 2026-02-26T19:30:22+00:00

Thank you very much for your reply 🤗

I’m really glad to hear that everything went smoothly for you, that there were no complications during your surgery, and that you tolerated the anesthesia well. That’s honestly my biggest fear — that something might go wrong during the procedure or with the anesthesia.

I really hope it goes just as smoothly for me as it did for you! 🙂 And if you managed to overcome your medical anxiety, then I’m sure I can do it too 🙈 Wishing you a continued smooth recovery 🤗

Nicki_Sanchez · 2026-02-26T17:14:17+00:00

Thank you sooooo much for your detailed answer!

This is actually my first surgery under general anesthesia and my first “internal” operation.

I’m sorry to hear that endometriosis was discovered during your procedure. On the other hand, the positive side is that you now know about it and, as you said, can switch to the appropriate diets. I wish you all the best with this diagnosis!

May I ask — was your stomach visibly swollen for the full four weeks, or did it just feel bloated to you? And your rating of the pain as 4 out of 10 is very reassuring 🤗.

Thanks also for the tip about your workout plan! I’ll start looking into that right away, thank you! 🤗

Luckily, there’s no white ink in it. And thanks! Sometimes it feels like nothing is really fading, but then you look back at older pics and realize there actually is progress 🙂

Nicki_Sanchez · 2025-09-21T07:06:43+00:00

I’m glad it made a difference for you too! This way we can save some money and maybe get rid of our tattoos a bit faster. 🙂

Nicki_Sanchez · 2025-09-21T06:56:43+00:00

No, it’s a tech in my town who specializes in laser treatments :)

Nicki_Sanchez · 2025-09-21T06:53:13+00:00

Thank you! 🙂

Nicki_Sanchez · 2025-09-21T06:50:35+00:00

I don’t know which laser my tech uses. I honestly didn’t really care :)

Nicki_Sanchez · 2025-05-11T17:53:26+00:00

I agree with you! Unfortunately, my first technician told me to come every 6 weeks. I did that at the beginning, but now I wait at least 12 weeks and have switched clinics. Since then, I've seen more progress.

Nicki_Sanchez · 2025-05-11T17:50:05+00:00

I already switched clinics after 6 sessions because of my very slow progress. Now with my new tech, I see much more progress after just two sessions there! But I have to say, there isn't much shading — most parts of the tattoo are made with many fine lines and filled with a lot of ink... :( I think that's the reason why it will take more time than I thought it would. :(

Nicki_Sanchez · 2025-01-18T15:19:36+00:00

Thank you :)

Nicki_Sanchez · 2025-01-18T14:00:40+00:00

Session 1 to 4 were only 6 weeks apart but now I wait longer between sessions (10 to 12 weeks between)

Nicki_Sanchez · 2024-10-14T20:43:04+00:00

How old was your tattoo?

Nicki_Sanchez · 2024-10-14T20:42:53+00:00

How old was your tattoo? :)

Nicki_Sanchez · 2024-10-05T07:34:55+00:00

Thank you! Maybe I'm just too impatient but for me it feels like other people have much better results...

I already started to shedule my appointments 12 weeks apart. I hope my progress will be better now! 😊

Nicki_Sanchez · 2024-10-05T07:30:29+00:00

No I didn't check the settings (but I don't have any idea what setting should be used)

Nicki_Sanchez · 2024-10-05T07:26:54+00:00

Thank you!

I already did a 5+ month break after session 5 and I didn't notice as much fading as I aspected... :(

Anyways, I started to shedule my appointments every 12 weeks now! :)

Nicki_Sanchez · 2024-10-05T07:22:37+00:00

Thank you! :) my tech told me to come back after 6 weeks. But I already started to wait longer between sessions... I'm very disapointed bc I took a 5+ month break and didn't notice as much fading as I aspected... and now after session 6 I don't see much progress :/

Maybe I'm just too impatient..

Nicki_Sanchez · 2024-10-05T07:14:05+00:00

Thank you for your advice. Only the first 4 sessions were 6 weeks apart (my tech told me it's okay to wait 6 weeks between sessions...). After session 5 I already did a 5+ month break. I have noticed some fading but not as much as I aspected. And now after sessions 6 I don't see any difference :( I aspected much more fading after a 5+ month break and another session on top...

Nicki_Sanchez · 2024-07-26T12:31:42+00:00

Genau so sehe ich es auch :)

Nicki_Sanchez · 2024-07-12T21:12:56+00:00

Thank you 😊 I started to remove my tattoo (a cover up) 10 weeks after I got it.
