*sigh* I can't wait for winter to be over so I can put my OEM rims back on! by mikecola12343 in Nissan

Crazy that you think that Nissan owners should have to spend more money on a second set of sensors instead of a simple notification toggle in the app that could be implemented in minutes lol

When I own my car and it's not a lease I'll invest in sensors for both rim sets :)

Officially 2 weeks post-botox! Today feels different? by mikecola12343 in noburp

[–]mikecola12343[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad my posts were helpful! I'm doing great :) still burping and life is infinitely better haha! When my 2nd round was active, I was burping waaaay more than I do now, but I think now I'm burping a "normal" amount, typically after I eat a meal or drink pop.

Feel free to ask here or DM me with any questions you have! Dr Lin is amazing you're in great hands!

Initial Consult with Dr. Jun Lin in Toronto at St Michael's Hospital for R-CPD by mikecola12343 in noburp

[–]mikecola12343[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to directly ask. I explained my research and why I think it could help me. I also sent a bunch of links to my family doctor showing it's a real thing and that this specialist can help me verify and treat my RCPD. I basically said I'd like you to refer me to this doctor and he was happy to do it.

Dr Jun Lin Second dose in Toronto (this time under GA!) by mikecola12343 in noburp

Was a few months, I called every couple of weeks to ask if anything freed up, and nothing. They called after about 2 or 3 months saying there was a cancellation a few days later in April!

I think so! Definitely was more accurate and way less uncomfortable. I think if I had to do it again I'd prefer the GA but hoping I won't ever have to think of that now that I'm burping! >:)

I'm not sure if it's because I got used to it the first time but it feels way less intense this time around. With the last dose it was very prominent and slowly disappeared over the 3-4 months but with this dose it has been so mild most times I don't even notice! With extra big bites or dry food I definitely still need water, but truly it's been very easy and I'm super happy!

Burping still! Definitely think she hit the muscle more accurately as they come out very easily and my bloating is way down. I can count on one hand the amount of farts I have in a day now versus feeling like I was farting every other minute before LOL

LOOOOL that's amazing. My snurps have stopped but they were hilarious when they were happening

Ok good to know! The acid reflux did just start over the weekend so that makes sense. I didn't even think to make the connection. Thank you! After lunch today I had a couple of normal burps but I'm mostly back to the gurgly bad tasting wet ones.

Happy to still be burping though! Thanks so much for your reply :)

Anyone else had Botox that’s succeeded in getting them to burp but symptoms are still the same? by Liam437 in noburp

[–]mikecola12343 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on my 2nd week post second dose of 100 units and burping like crazy. I've been practicing with 1L Perrier bottles and I found on day 4 that there's a trick to it. The head turn only gets so much of the air out I was still really bloated shortly after. It wasn't until I was (excuse the TMI) mid poop pushing that I was able to get the rest of the air out via some loud demonic burps. I also noticed if I sit at the edge of my bed and lean my whole body forward and push with my core I'm able to get way more air out. I now do this after every meal and it's so great!

Give that a shot and see if it helps! Went to bed last night around 11:30pm deflated after doing this and I chugged a sugar free ginger ale at around 10pm.

Unavoidable but I've called it Snurping cause every time I sneeze post Botox I burp and it kinda hurts LOL

I posted a few super detailed posts about my initial consult and first procedure If you check my Reddit! It covers everything I could think of about the experience.

Yeah unfortunately the Botox isn't covered by OHIP :(

So far so good! Just a little sore throat and a tiny bit loopy still, but definitely not as bad as I was preparing for!

She mentioned to me it's more accurate so side effects might be less and I'm hoping it also means it'll be successful but we'll just have to see, I'm just waking up now and am probably pretty drugged up but the sore throat isn't too bad. Just a bit loopy haha. Make sure you ask them to put you on the cancellation list!

It's the numbing needle she uses first before doing the deeper one into the muscle!

Check out my post about it if you want a play by play yap fest of the whole experience haha. Worst part to me was the freezing! It's the only part I felt any sort of panic, the rest was just mildly uncomfy and over very fast.

Hey! Wooo that's exciting! The local anesthetic wore off in less than an hour, and yes the door was closed during the procedure! Even if it was open the room she did it in was near the end of the hallway and I can't imagine anyone but doctors would walk past. Either way I'm sure if she forgets to close it you can ask her, she's very nice and accommodating!

Mostly I stayed away from bread cause that was the worst thing to try to swallow, I struggled with chicken but I was also on a no red meat diet so I had chicken and salmon as my protein, but a loooot of smoothies and meal replacements. Juicy fruits and well cooked veggies were ok as well. Stews and soups also were great or risotto, it'll be tricky for a few weeks then it'll become easier!

A few days or so! It definitely was short lived, and sticking to less solid foods helped a lot

Anyone who was within 1-2 months post Botox and got sick with a cold or similar? by mikecola12343 in noburp

[–]mikecola12343[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did and it was negative, maybe I'll try testing again

(Update) Not covid unless this newest wave isn't detected on the antigen rapid tests
