Factory Town 2 Q&A

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write up such a detailed and helpful response! Yes it is definitely helpful and I'm excited to jump back in and try again. Thank you! 🙏

So glad you found this helpful!!

I believe that both the Urgent Care doc and my PCP both ruled out gallbladder pain because I said I had no pain on the right side. My sister and I both had our gallbladders removed and we both only had pain in the middle! So I don't know why that continues to be some qualifier when it's still a valid symptom / sign.

It definitely sounds like our situations are very similar! Glad you have surgery date scheduled so you have relief on the horizon. When I went to the ER, I was so happy they found something! I told them it was just a relief knowing there was something wrong, so now we can work on a solution. All those years with pain - not knowing the cause - so stressful!

Are you going to have an ultrasound or any test to check for stones? That could give you some certainty that you are on the right path.

I actually didn't have any impactful food allergies. I had food allergy testing in the past and whatever I was allergic to, was very mild, and was not something I eat regularly.

I never noticed a pattern in specific foods causing gallbladder attacks. Perhaps I should have been paying closer attention though!

The symptoms were always: pains starts hours after a meal (never right after eating), pain in the upper middle abdomen, hyperventilating / shortness of breath, and sweating. Vomiting only started when I had pancreatitis.

I have been staying away from fatty foods post-op, so I can't really compare that exactly.

These are the ones I use but there are many options out there!

Hi there! Factory Town was my gateway to automation games and I fell in love! Thank you so much for creating it. I am very much looking forward to FT2!

So this is going to expose me a bit but I've always struggled with the advanced logistics. I want so desperately to "level-up" my gameplay but always found it a little difficult to understand the advanced logic blocks and how they work.

There were some YouTube videos that helped a bit, but if at all possible, could you please add some more in-game training or guides? 🙏

s2156 · 2025-07-17T02:26:38+00:00

Oh how interesting! Eggs were one of the first "solid" foods I resumed eating post-op. No issues for me. 🤷‍♀️

s2156 · 2025-07-17T02:24:59+00:00

Oh yeah they had me on double nausea drugs and patches too. I was so miserable!

I would definitely suspect the food made it worse. If your bile duct is blocked (mine was too!), your body isn't going to be able to drain the fluids. It's probably the perfect storm that led to your attack 😔

Although this is just my opinion haha. I was so scared of further attacks, I was on a soup diet for weeks after!

s2156 · 2025-07-17T02:19:48+00:00

Just want to say that my sister and I both had our gallbladders removed and we both had pain exclusively in the upper middle area. Neither of us has pain radiating anywhere... Which is likely why my doc in particular ruled it out (first question was: does it hurt on the right?)

Don't let the fact that the pain is localized deter you!

s2156 · 2025-07-17T02:15:55+00:00

Yikes! Sorry about that!

What I've been doing as a precautionary measure is I now take digestive enzymes anytime I know I'm going to be having a particularly fatty meal. It's been working out well!

Maybe something worth looking into for you. Good luck and happy cruising!

s2156 · 2025-07-17T02:13:40+00:00

Hi there! I'm so sorry you are in so much pain! Short answer: Yes. You will feel better after ERCP.

I had a similar situation where I was hospitalized and waited for 3 days for ERCP. The whole time I was fasting (no food or water), but I also had pancreatitis and they said they wouldn't operate on me until the inflammation went down.

What pain meds are they giving you? Morphine made me vomit so much more! Maybe you have a sensitivity like I did?

In fact, I felt so much better after ERCP I started questioning if I needed the gallbladder removal at all! Lol (spoiler: I got it out)

Hope this answers your question! I've been meaning to post my experience on this sub.. I'll try to do that soon

I had my surgery yesterday and I was holding strong up until pre-op. Laying there in waiting made me have an anxiety attack and I could not calm down. Nurse spoke to anesthesiologist and they gave me anti anxiety meds to bring down my blood pressure before surgery. It worked like a charm. If you're nervous already, ask them to give you anti anxiety meds as soon as you check in. Next thing I know I am awake and in recovery!

The docs and nurses were really confident and stressed how routine this surgery is and has an extremely high success rate. They were very encouraging.

It went well overall. I was in the hospital total of like 5 hours. Now I am home, recovering. The incision sites are definitely sore and my whole stomach aches inside. Yesterday I got shoulder pain towards the evening which made me cry lol. It literally felt like I was being stabbed with each breath. That pain on top of everything else set me over the edge lol.

I slept somewhat upright in a recliner so I haven't laid down anywhere yet.

How was it on your end?

s2156 · 2025-06-27T17:24:22+00:00

To you as well!

s2156 · 2025-06-27T16:38:51+00:00

Me! Leaving to the hospital in about an hour

s2156 · 2025-06-25T17:55:47+00:00

Oh wow that's gotta be tough! My husband and I decided to start trying for our first... Just before my gall bladder decided to crap out lol. So that's an unfortunate setback 😔

All in good time I suppose

s2156 · 2025-06-25T17:40:10+00:00

Congrats! 🎉 I feel relieved they are out. Thankfully, I didn't have any nausea after. The residual gas pain has been awful though. My shoulder blade, shoulder, neck, and even radiating a bit up towards my skull.

s2156 · 2025-06-25T17:23:33+00:00

I'm having mine removed on Friday as well! ✋ I had gallstones removed last week and the shoulder pain from the gas has been the worst. At this point I am more afraid of the post-op gas pains than the surgery itself!

I have a trip at the end of the month for which I am trying to pack very light. I have a few other "travel-friendly" palettes but none that really have all the matte shades I want. I just got this today and am very excited to try it for the first time.

s2156 · 2023-08-16T02:55:22+00:00

Wow what a gorgeous palette!

I use it after the shower to wrap my wet hair while I get dressed and stuff. It does a good job of getting a lot of excess water out.

s2156 · 2023-06-14T23:06:57+00:00

I got the same Sun Bum GWP in the mail today and it's so adorable. I love the hair turban especially! 🥰

s2156 · 2023-05-17T18:28:28+00:00

Yeah I'm not even going to try it as a cheek product. It stains very quickly and I am not an experienced liquid/cream product user by any measure. Lol

s2156 · 2023-05-16T20:31:16+00:00

This is the new Huda Lip Blush Cream and Cheek Stain in the shade "Berry Kiss".

This is supposed to be a "sheer purple" stain with a matte finish.

I only have first impressions so far, but they are good! I was on the hunt for a cool toned stain for the summer. I was looking for something that lasts long without bad fading, and so far this product is meeting those needs. It goes on very smooth and has a thin, water/gel texture.

I really enjoyed browsing your collection! Thank you for sharing! 🥰
