My wife had the same procedure for the same reason a few years back. Hope the healing goes fast!
Two questions. Was the procedure laparoscopic? Also, what's your favorite dinosaur?

Would you be a good person if you had the power to do whatever you wanted?
Do you weigh less now? I've always been curious about that when someone gets a surgery that has a part of them removed. Because they must weigh you before and after right?

What's your favorite piece of media and why?
Oh fuck that's so hard. Like, I think memes are the best thing ever unironically because they transcend so many barriers of communication, but I can't choose just one as my fave. Tho dat boi lives fondly in my heart.
Wow, I legit almost forgot about dat boi
What are your thoughts on the Hobie Mirage kayak and their MirageDrive system?
What's something you've been dwelling on lately, but it seems too trivial, obsessive, or egocentric to vent to those close to you?
I definitely dwell on my physical appearance more than I should. I have a bit of a belly. I'm slowly losing weight and getting noticably slimmer and stronger, but I can't really vent about how I still hate how I look to my friends/family because I'm either smaller than them and/or losing weight faster than they are and venting about it comes off the wrong way because they seem to get a bit jealous. Turns the vibe to shambles
I'm sorry that you feel that way both about your body and how you can express yourself. Bodies are so tough... I love the things I've done and chosen to experience with my body, but I don't like how my body looks as a result.
On the topic of losing weight, I heard you lost a few pounds this week! Congratulations!
Thank you for sharing your feelings like that, I appreciate how candid your reply was.
Was it done laparoscopic? What pain killers did they give you?
It was done laparoscopic. 4 small incisions in my abdomen. I was given tramadol, 600 mg ibuprofen, and told to switch between the ibuprofen and OTC Tylenol every 6 hours and take the tramadol as needed. The ibuprofen has been working well, but the Tylenol doesn't really help so I take 1/2 a tramadol if I can't handle the pain before I am due to switch to ibuprofen.
Does the tramadol make you itchy? I take it for a shoulder injury and it's driving me crazy! I have some astepro nasal spray that's disgusting and didn't help at all. Tried it topically and think it might have helped a bit. Benadryl topical definitely made it a little less irritating.
Common side effect for tramadol, or any opioid agonist. Idk why, but the itch seems to effect the nose especially - drives some patients crazy.

What's the most niche Lemmy community you subscribe to? (Mine is https://lemmy.world/c/compactphones )
I think the question everyone is asking themselves is whether you want your inverted penis covered by health insurance?
