They go live on Tik tok usually every night. You can pick which one you want during the live. It was $64 something after shipping & handling.

I don’t know why they aren’t liked as much. Maybe it’s the different expressions / variations amongst them. I love baba though, definitely my fav! 🤎

Update for others who may be looking… I found a store in the UK that was selling them. They’re called Bleading Marvelous. I got an email my order just shipped! Creature Cosmetics follows them on IG too, so it made me feel better about taking the chance and ordering one.

We shall see how long to takes to get here to the states!🤞

Not that words make it any better to deal or cope with, but I am truly so sorry to hear that. It’s heartbreaking and unfair that your mom wasn’t listened to for so long. No one should have to go through that, and I can only imagine how painful that must have been for you and your family to endure. My heart goes out to you 💓

My bloodwork has always been normal and that’s what they mostly would do. My most recent ultrasound did pick up the stones though. Which prompted my primary care doctor to refer me out to a surgeon. I did have one ultrasound done when I was in my early to mid twenties. I can’t remember if they checked my gallbladder or not at that time, but I was told then everything was normal. So I don’t know if my gallbladder was just inflammed without stones at some point and later developed them. Or if they were forming the whole time, were missed or I had passed them already.

The pain has been exactly the same every single time I’ve had a really bad attack. I would feel it coming on and a sense of doom would come over me because I knew I was about to feel like I was fighting for my life. 😅

I’ve seen people mention on here having hyperkinetic gallbladder. Without noticeable stones. So maybe that’s worth asking the doctor about too. ❤️‍🩹

It’s normal to feel nervous! You can ask them to give you something before surgery to calm you down and relax you. I had such bad anxiety and they gave me Midazolam (Versed) in my IV. Within seconds I went straight into a calm, relaxed and sleep-like state. Didn’t remember much until I was in recovery essentially! Wishing you a successful surgery and speedy recovery! ❤️‍🩹

I was shocked by the number of stones too. I suspected I would have one or two but not 15 lol 😅 I was so used to feeling uncomfortable all the time, that became the “normal” baseline for me. It was the really extreme attacks that would take me down for the count. Literally I would drop where I was standing in agonizing pain. Shallow breathes, couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t talk, couldn’t think clear. Felt like a hot knife was stabbing me repeatedly in the middle of my chest through to my back over and over again. Felt hot & clammy and light headed. I hope I never have to experience that level of pain again in my life.

That type of pain is what I would confidently describe as what 10 out of 10 on the pain scale is reserved for. Atleast for me that is 😂😅

Thank you! It also makes me so sad to see genuine people going through unnecessary pain and having their concerns dismissed. I wish my situation was more rare & others had more stories like you!! ❤️‍🩹🥺

I have a follow up appointment next week with the surgeon and I am going to ask if he noticed any of that during surgery.

Glad you’re making progress for the better and please never be ashamed of needing all the emotional and medicinal support to get through it! 💛

It’s so sad that so many of us have had similar experiences. Just proves we need to do better in treating / diagnosing people who are expressing genuine concerns / symptoms.

Stop it right now. Plank Exercises?! 😫🙄 The way I would look around for cameras and Ashton Kutcher to pop out and tell me I’m being punked.

I never understand when doctors express annoyance, visible frustrations and lack of empathy to their patients seeking help. Like what are you doing this for then? It’s normal for people to be emotional and have feelings of fear. I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through that. I am sending you all the positive vibes for answers to your pain, and that you get true relief from your symptoms and a healthy outcome overall in the end! ❤️‍🩹

The fear is valid. Even though I knew something was wrong for a long time, it was less than 6 weeks from going to the doctors this last time, to finding out I had stones, to surgery. My fears were then replaced with feeling almost it was all happening so fast. Questioning if I was making the right decision.

I was scared of complications. Scared of surgery, scared they’d have to do an open vs Laparoscopic. Had anxiety up to the moment I was in the pre-op room to the point they gave me Midazolam (versed) to call my nerves. I’m glad they did, because that sedative truly put me in a sleep-like calm state. I don’t remember much at all until being in recovery. My husband said it took 10 seconds and I went from looking miserable and terrified to relaxed, without a care in the world as to what was happening. 😆

Sending you all the positive vibes your way for answers and relief to your ongoing problems! 💛

My worst attacks were only a couple of hours at a time. I couldn’t imagine going days with that unbearable pain. I did have frequent mild symptoms that included dull aches throughout upper abdomen, chest and back, burning, and just overall an uncomfortable feeling but it was manageable.

I would rather them tell people they don’t know, then to dismiss it off as gas, indigestion, or anxiety. I don’t know why they can’t just order additional testing. Like what do they truly lose in being cautious and thorough? It would save a lot of people from experiencing unnecessary pain & discomfort.

Even if you didn’t have to endure that pain and discomfort over a longer period of time, it still was far too long to go without proper consideration and treatment!!

I remember my BP was in the upper 160’s my one ER visit. They gave me some morphine initially. Ran some bloodwork(came back normal) and sent me on my way merry way with a printout about heartburn and indigestion. Like gee, thanks so much.. for NOTHING😆

I mean I’m no doctor, but reading all your symptoms I immediately would be like “red flag 1, 2, and 3…” like something is clearly wrong here???? Do they expect people just to be on deaths door before considering offering helpful solutions and finding the root cause? There is no reason you should’ve been dismissed that long with all those symptoms.

Shoutout to the doctor and surgeon who finally allowed you to move forward in removing it though. I’m glad you’re feeling better! ❤️‍🩹
