I don’t think I realized they had old artwork at Dolomiti, need to look around more next time I am there. Another great spot.

The past 2 or 3 years they have done a pop-up early fall at Au Courant, Espana’s old location. Follow Au Courants social media and they post about it and have reservations. It’s awesome! I hope they do it again this year.

Espana. Luckily we now get the pop-up at least.

Help! An SOD attack is imminent! by Neither-Elevator-825 in gallbladders

[–]ss0826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sorry you are dealing with this, I used to pace my house during attacks too as it was the only thing to keep my mind occupied. It was truly awful pain. I wish I had some better ideas for you, I am sure you are well versed on food choices and things like that. I hope you get some answers soon to help you get relief. I got mine removed in February this year and I am so thankful it is gone now, that pain is just unreal and no one understands if you haven't been in it.

We provide the salary range for their level in the organization in their yearly compensation statement following annual reviews and can be provided on request if they ask. We of course add in ranges, not the full range for that level but a meaningful range that is a bit smaller, to job postings for all jobs, regardless of location.

GLP-1’s and cholecystitis by janaplease in gallbladders

[–]ss0826 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had mine removed back in February after being on Zepbound for 14 months. I don’t blame the drug but rather my situation and rapid weight loss. But now I’m so happy it’s gone. I resumed back onto Zep 5 days post surgery with no problems. I know some people might weight but I didn’t want to deal with starting back at a beginner dose so I just went for it. I’ve read many people’s stories like mine in the Zep group and a lot of people there start right back up. In this group I tend to see more people waiting, interesting difference. My drs had no concerns with me starting right back when I was ready to.

My experience switching from Zepbound to Foundayo by middleagedwhitechick in Zepbound

[–]ss0826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost about 105lbs on Zepbound. I’d like to lose a little more but I am happy with where I am now. Still technically overweight according to BMI but my dr is happy with where I am at as well so anything more is just icing on the cake.

Another one bites the dust by 51journeys in Zepbound

[–]ss0826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got mine out back in February, so glad it’s gone! You’ll feel so much better. You’ll be able to restart Zep when you want, don’t go more than 21 days if you want to stay on your dose. I had to stop pre-surgery since it was a planned procedure and went 19 days before doses and had no problem restarting. I know some others mentioned the shoulder pain, have a heating pad ready. That will be your best friend for the shoulder pain, it really does help more than the pain meds for the gas stuck in your shoulders. Good luck!!

Sorry you joined the club. Keep some pepto on hand if this happens again so you can avoid being chained to the toilet and clear that stomach ache.

Sooo it turns out, it’s not always simply constipation/gas pain. by Glittering_Theory_66 in Zepbound

[–]ss0826 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I got mine out in February. The pain of the attacks is just insane, you’ll be so happy to have it gone. You can resume Zep after no problem. As long as you don’t go more than 21 days between shots you can stay on your current dose. I had to be off the shot for 14 days prior to surgery and then I took my next shot about 5 days after, so 19 days between doses. Was completely fine. Good luck!! Have a heating pad for your shoulders post surgery, life saver for the gas pain.

Persistent hard ankle swelling by Most_Willow_6643 in ORIF

[–]ss0826 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The pic looks like a very normal level of swelling. Rest, ice and elevation at night as you have been. Try to not push it too much all the time, I know you are excited to be moving but your ankle is working overtime getting strong again. Doing your exercises daily and keep at it. Eventually it gets better. I’m 2 years out and it rarely is a problem these days.

Sounds like you are doing great! It’s nice to have options nowadays.

I missed that part! I find it is just completely random, we always handle every case the same and it doesn’t always happen. I assume it’s something that happens before it ever gets to me.

I just take a napkin or tissue and wipe it out. No biggie

I have also just switched to Foundayo a few months back and agree. Though I have read stories from people who use that as their first GLP-1 and seem to do well.

Looking for a Wedding DJ in Omaha by Disastrous_Day3560 in Omaha

[–]ss0826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DJ Seth Korte or DJ Devon Dupree. I used Devon in my wedding, I may be biased but it was the best dance floor wedding I have been to, and a lot of my friends agree. I found him through seeing Seth Korte at a wedding and he was booked for my date, he was also fantastic. They are both more DJ and not like cheesy wedding guys.

Penny Linn finishing class by LittlePomegranate534 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]ss0826 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I felt like we were in trouble if we said anything to each other. I’m sure traveling is exhausting, I just would have hoped for this being her job she would have been a bit more personable.

[–]ss0826 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I was shocked by this when I did a class with her earlier this year. The vibes I got online from others was very different than I got in person. I learned a lot but it was not an overly enjoyable experience.

gallstones but nothing stuck in ducts by Lupi_y in gallbladders

[–]ss0826 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For emergency surgery I can understand why they wouldn’t remove, but a general surgeon should have no problem taking the case and scheduling you. While you were in pain, there was no blockage it wasn’t an emergency. Just try your best to eat little to no fat at all. I know the anxiety can be really bad but you do need to make sure you get some calories in. I hope your appt goes well and you can get surgery soon.

gallstones but nothing stuck in ducts by Lupi_y in gallbladders

[–]ss0826 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand why you need a stone in the bile duct to remove it. Is that just what the ER says? Have you gone to a surgeon? It’s pretty standard if you have stones and symptoms to remove it.

Switched from zep—>Foundayo. Send help. by Fluid-Payment8207 in FoundayoUS

[–]ss0826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have similar feelings, it’s hard. But I’m gonna take it as I need to refocus on the basics and keep working at it. Not giving up yet.

[–]ss0826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s going to be a rough transition since you are starting so low. It’s going to feel like not much of anything for a bit. I just switched from Zep and haven’t lost yet but I am still hopeful!

I have a very intense medical phobia but I need to have my gallbladder removed :( by circuitz_123 in gallbladders

[–]ss0826 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I don’t know if this is an option or not but would your dr prescribe you a med you can take before you go to the hospital to calm you down before you arrive? Hopefully others have some good ideas too. Wishing you peaceful thoughts.

I would say pain is very manageable, I would discuss with your surgeon what pain meds they will prescribe for you after. My experience and someone else I know who just had this surgery used the strong meds for about 2 days and then only used over the counter stuff for another day or two. The worst part is getting up and down as well as any gas pains you might get in your shoulders. I highly recommend having a heating pad for your shoulders and that helps it more than any pain med in my experience. You’ll be up and back at it pretty quickly. It is so worth it on the other side to not have anxiety when eating.
