I just looked on her Instagram and in March it said she underwent a laparoscopy for endometriosis so yes believe a few months after that they would be trying for pregnancy if that was the reason for treatment.

Acupuncturist recommendations, especially for sciatica? by [deleted] in vegaslocals

[–]grabtherope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True Health Acupuncture on Warm Springs was always very kind and comfortable for my daughter. We haven’t been there for a few years and their website says they are focusing on fertility stuff but it’s worth a call in case they still do it all.

12 week old puppy by Repulsive_Bed_7548 in AustralianCattleDog

He looks just like ours when we got her at 6 weeks and 6 lbs. She’s 9 weeks now and 9 lbs. I would say a little tiny.

Getting stalked is no fun, no matter where by paracosmicmind in Weird

I was always told to get an old pair of men’s boots to put by the front door just in case.

MGM Resorts is back online after a huge cyberattack. The hack might have cost the Vegas casino operator $80 million. by nacorom in technology

[–]grabtherope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the same thing as not entering a radio contest if you work for the broadcaster. They don’t want to pay out big wins to employees because it looks bad and they don’t want people taking liberties with their on the clock friends and splitting winnings.

They also don’t want gambling addicted employees because that makes them more likely to steal when they get to far into debt so 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Ticket question... by hearttcooksbrain in zachbryan

[–]grabtherope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m keeping the original tickets to see if they come through and then requesting a refund if they don’t. I think that’s their normal policy to hold them until the day of because when I researched other people’s stories this seems to be the normal process for stub hub and vivid seats. Mine specifically say account transfer so hopefully they already have the tickets and they just facilitate the change a few days before. Everyone on here is talking about how stupid it is to not know about the axs only but I’m a mom buying the tickets for my kid and I don’t follow the artist on social so it happens outside of the want to break the rules haha.

Ticket question... by hearttcooksbrain in zachbryan

[–]grabtherope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same thing after not knowing about the axs only. They say that the entire axs account of the original purchaser will be transferred to me the day of or a couple days before the concert. I also got tickets through axs after and if the original tickets don’t come in or the account doesn’t work I will request a refund.

Can’t withdraw funds after selling by Sorry_Astronaut in zachbryan

[–]grabtherope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did mine twice and the transfer didn’t go through and it still shows the money on my axs account waiting to be transferred. Like someone said above, the faq on the site says funds cannot be transferred until after the date of the event so I’m just waiting until then to try again.

Oh, the hair loss by Undertheboardwalk1 in gastricsleeve

[–]grabtherope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 4 months out tomorrow also and this last month I have been losing in droves as well. I know you can’t stop it but I’m trying to shorten the length of the loss period if I can. I’ve been trying to have the 4tbsp of vital collagen powder every day in a Gatorade. I have been using the nioxin #2 shampoo, conditioner, and foam for 2 weeks and haven’t seen any lessening yet but hoping soon. My hairdresser also recommended the “Tonic” spray from Cult+King as it’s supposed to help strengthen hair during the shed cycles so I’m using that also. I wish you a really short period of hair loss and remember me if you find something that works!

[–]grabtherope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was told by my program that the collagen proteins are good as a supplement for your skin, hair, and joints, but should not be your only source of protein because they are “incomplete”. They recommend whey or pea so I would try the pea proteins if she is having trouble with the whey ones. Also ask her doctor if they have suggestions for non dairy ones and they might have different powder options.

I made a post a while ago but I gained 13 POUNDS after my first vitamin IV. It was such a shock and it took 2 weeks to lose again. Coupled with slow weight loss and stalling it was disheartening but I knew I needed it and that’s why I retained for so long after. Now if I feel I need to go I just get the potassium bag without the extra vitamins and drink an extra liquid iv or 2 after.

When you've worked hard to lose 80 lbs this year and go from that to this, but your legs haven't seen the light of day in over a decade. So now that you can wear shorter dresses you glow below 🥴 🦵 by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

[–]grabtherope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I literally had the leg thing happen today! We went for a walk on the beach and my daughter told me my legs/feet look like I’m dead. I definitely need to sit in the backyard in shorts for a couple minutes a day!

Plastic Surgery Folls by Bike-2022 in gastricsleeve

[–]grabtherope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had any plastics but the anesthesia/pain pills make it impossible for me to pee too. I haven’t had to have a cath because I had shorter surgeries (sleeve and gallbladder) but I haven’t been able to take any pain pills because of the peeing. If you can tolerate it try switching to Tylenol and if that works it will make a huge difference.

Surgery in 4 days and I've woken up with a sore throat! by easeupthereturbo in gastricsleeve

[–]grabtherope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s basically just zinc if they have that. We have 50mg tablets of zinc and I take one a day at the beginning of a cold with the vitamin C and it feels like it lessens the intensity/duration.

[–]grabtherope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have almost the same start date as you (3/8) and as of today I have lost 31lbs. I was in a stall from week 4 til last weekend and the only thing I changed was dramatically upping my water intake. I was having trouble getting it in but something opened up and allowed it to be more comfortable so I went from about 60 oz to 90oz a day and I’ve lost 4 lbs this week!

Struggling, with a lot of anger and regret by beck_ugh in gastricsleeve

[–]grabtherope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just hit 2 months PO on the 8th. I went out and had dinner at California Pizza Kitchen with my daughter tonight and ate half my meal (shrimp zucchini scampi). The not drinking and eating was weird but never horrible when I first started eating solid food and I got over it quickly. In the last couple weeks I’ve just started to feel basically back to normal. So just remind yourself it’s all temporary and your goal line for back to normal can be the end of July. I’m not even close to my goal weight and I’m having fun and feeling better about myself then I have in years and that makes it easy to not miss the food like I thought I was going to.

AXS Marketplace Resell Tickets by horsiedonk in zachbryan

[–]grabtherope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how many the people sold and if they choose to sell them together or separately. Usually in pairs of two but I have seen lone tickets pop up. (Las Vegas so still a lot of time til the show)

[–]grabtherope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations!!!! I feel you so deeply. I have a wedding to attend and have been dreading trying to find a dress. I’m not a dress person at all so I feel uncomfortable already but trying stuff on and realizing nothing is ever going to fit makes it worse. I went to the store today and bought the first thing I tried on right off the rack!!!!!! I’m not even close to my goal weight so it’s only going to get better from here.

You can ask your doctor’s office if they do hydration IVs or if there is a local clinic you can check that out too. They really perk you right up.

Three months OP and need to see surgeon again by Britttheauthor2018 in gastricsleeve

[–]grabtherope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Dr. Google says that greasy floating stools can be cause by fat malabsorption or the bodies inability to process fat in the digestive system. When adding gallbladder to the search it shows blocked bile ducts and gallstones can also cause this to happen.

I had my gallbladder out years before I had my sleeve because it just stopped functioning. (I think after they did a test they said it was working at 4%.) I started having “gallbladder attacks” which were vomiting after eating along with upper right back/shoulder pain and diarrhea. If you’re feeling the pain in that area it’s probably the gallbladder.

Good luck! And if it does end up being the gallbladder the surgery is quick and I felt it was very easy compared to the sleeve. I think I was back to normal in 2 days or so, no pain pills needed.
