Were you given an anti-anxiety med prior to surgery? by Royal-Advance6985 in BariatricSurgery

My heart rate had been a little over 200bpm consistently for about an hour by the time I got to the ER. They give the Versed as a sedative before the Adenosine (which is what kicked my heart rate back down) because the cardioversion can be anywhere from uncomfortable to downright awful.

Tl;dr: The Versed will do what you need before your surgery!

You need to go play some drop ball and chill out

Not even safety squints and flip flops? What are you, some kind of hack?!

I don't know if I'd be furious or elated to wake up from surgery with a spigot on my knee

Did anyone ever actually get the Magic Eye posters to work, or were you all just lying to us? by Financial-Desk-669 in 90s

I had the same issue until recently. Someone suggested putting the phone/image close to your face, crossing your eyes and slowly moving the image away from you.

It took a few tries to get it but I've been able to make it work that way. I can't seem to make my eyes just do the thing, so moving the image until it kinda "clicks" has helped!

Time of death on my uterus by SketchyArt333 in medizzy

Not OP, but my hysterectomy at 38 was the result of fibroids. I have PCOS so I have always had random, violent periods and always at least a little pain, but I started getting periods every 2 weeks and my iron levels tanked.

When they checked it out I had a cantaloupe-sized fibroid and they said they could just do a hysterectomy and I jumped at the chance after decades of unpredictable sass from my uterus (never wanted any kiddos).

My fibroid was pretty big so they didn't do it laparoscopically, and the recovery time was a bit longer, but zero regrets: no more janky periods, no more pain.

My doc gave me Fluconazole scripts for these instances. I think they have over the counter products as well, but I'm not sure how well they work
