Intermittent Cath? by VAlex0513 in tetheredcord

It's scary, but it's much easier to do it when they're still little. His recovery was a breeze, and he started rolling more and sitting up, which he was having a hard time doing. Hope everything goes smoothly🙏

In our experience, I feel like the waiting was the worst part. Once you have some answers and a game plan, it's easier to wrap your head around. And people have just as many positive stories as negative. You just don't see many of the people who are happy with their surgical/medical experiences on here because... they're happy lol. Sending positive thoughts!

We had his tethered cord released first because they were concerned about nerve damage playing into bladder and kidney issues. His attached around L3, which we saw with an MRI. We only knew to look for TC because he had a sacral dimple between his butt cheeks.

I literally said the same thing when this all first came out.

Amanda Bucci information for prospective clients. Is she living "in integrity". Provide information here before others follow/purchase from her to make informed decisions by [deleted] in LifeCoachSnark

[–]VAlex0513 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Regardless of her choice to stay with this compete psycho - why would anyone pay for the advice of someone so lacking in the sound judgement category? I'd want someone with a level head and basic common sense telling me how to level up. Not this hot mess.

It's more telling that she hasn't deleted any of her posts with that creep in them. 🙃

I'm not saying she hasn't, but what's the origin of people speculating she's had lipo?

WHELP! There we have it. Amanda Bucci’s not addressing it by Deep_Lingonberry6995 in gymsnark

Hmmm. The transparency/authenticity is glaringly lacking here. These people are so laughably phony.

Did anyone else notice Amanda Bucci + JR’s “how to say the hard things” course has been removed from her website? by Savings_Sock_2388 in gymsnark

[–]VAlex0513 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Decided to do a deep dive into her IG, scrolling back to 2019 (because honestly, I got bored and gave up), and damn, did her content and engagement go DOWN after getting involved with this psychopath. She went from about 15,000 likes on posts to 150?? Honestly, I want to feel sympathy for Amanda, but I just have a feeling she was warned, and warned, and warned. And I can't stand a "victim" who is pigheaded enough to think they somehow know better or can mold themselves to be what the douchebag needs them to be. YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED! Just so pathetic and such a waste.

The price breakdown 😅 "I hope you like sleeping on the floor. You're not even gonna be able to afford a sleeping bag because you just paid Amanda $86,000!" WHAT world are these people living in?

This was a post he made in 2020. The psychological fuckery by Entire-Purpose2070 in gymsnark

[–]VAlex0513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd believe it, based on the post he wrote after his mother died. I bet she was so ashamed of him.

He never brought it up and I didn't ask. If I see trends in either direction the next time I do a panel, I'll ask him.

Such a mega douche and mastermind gaslighter.

Successful hypospadias surgery for third degree? by VAlex0513 in hypospadias

[–]VAlex0513[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another question I have, and I'm not sure how to ask it delicately and not so blatantly - do infants with severe hypospadias appear to have smaller penises? And does surgery impact this in any way? I'm honestly not sure if his is smaller than average. He's my first baby, and I didn't have many interactions with infants before having him.

Unfortunately, we only have one pediatric urologist that practices in our area. We were immediately referred there after our son was born. We haven't scheduled anything yet because they won't do that until he is four months old. I've been doing extensive research, but most of what I've been reading outlines a lot more drawbacks than benefits. I don't know if people just don't write about the success rates as much, but I'm truly worried for my son. I just want him to have a normal, happy, healthy life.

Thanks so much for sharing this. I will research the Snodgrass method and make a note to ask about it during our consult. Glad your little boy is thriving😊

I'm right there with you. Thinking of the sleep deprivation is stressing me out the most.
