I have no idea if I lost any weight lol.
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 something you've been dwelling on lately, but it seems too trivial, obsessive, or egocentric to vent to those close to you?

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.
When I got my tubes removed, they gave me a tramadol after the surgery but just a prescription for ibuprofen. The ibuprofen seemed to help fine as long as I took it about every 5 hours. The worst part for me was getting up, whether out of bed or out of a chair. I had three incisions, one on each side of my abdomen and then through the belly button. I think it took me about 3 days to not have so much trouble getting out of bed. I wish you a fast recovery!
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?
