January 2, 2013 2:28 pm at 2:28 pm in reply to: Help! Have Gallstones; Can I Avoid Gallbladder Removal?? #9255892scentsParticipant
a mamin,
Please do not make a blanket statement, it might not have helped you, however I know of other people that were helped by going onto a strict diet.
Either case, I will repeat myself, you should schedule a consultation with someone that specializes in gallbladder surgeries.
You cannot undo the surgery once it is done, you should make an informed decision.
2scentsParticipantI personally do not really care, I choose which posts to read and which to ignore.
January 2, 2013 2:45 am at 2:45 am in reply to: Help! Have Gallstones; Can I Avoid Gallbladder Removal?? #9255852scentsParticipantI differ with you, I know this first hand, as I was with the PT, the ER doc and the general Doc stated that this must be removed, we did some research and found a reputable surgeon who did a more extensive investigation and advised to hold on the surgery.
In fact, I spoke with people who also had a similar experience.
I was not trying to put anyone down, just stating what happened, and hopefully someone will use this as a lesson and not jump for surgery when told so by o=a general doctor.
Removing and organ is not a joke, I am surprised at how lightly people take this. surgery should be a last resort. In other words consult with Doctors and surgeons that specialize in this.
Please explain why someone should opt for surgery when the pain and symptoms can be controlled with a regulated diet.
2scentsParticipantWhat makes you think he is a weirdo?
2scentsParticipantI think that the concern Lakewood people have is not that these people do not have where to go, only that they are in their back yard..
January 1, 2013 6:21 pm at 6:21 pm in reply to: Help! Have Gallstones; Can I Avoid Gallbladder Removal?? #9255832scentsParticipantCorrect, you don’t shop around for opinions, however one should get a few opinions from gallbladder specialists before getting it removed.
The fact that someone had an attack, does not mean it should be removed, you can avoid getting more attacks by not eating fatty foods and regulating your diet. Doctors suggest surgery because it is the easy way out, however the gallbladder is not an ‘extra’ organ and should not be removed unless absolutely necessary.
Again, I am not suggesting that you not listen to a doctors advice, only that you should schedule an appointment with someone that specializes in gallbladder surgeries.
Having stones on its own, is not yet a sufficient reason for removal, most doctors just look at the sonogram and say oh, you have stones so go for surgery.
Also, ulcers can be mistaken for gall stones, the major difference usually is, that with an ulcer the attack comes way after eating, and with gallstones the attack comes right after eating fatty foods.
2scentsParticipantdelayed means that what you here now, has really been said a few minutes ago.
2scentsParticipantYou should work this out with your wife, either do the bills together, and put away the extra money for savings.
If she still wants to spend the money, then it is not a spending issue, its more of a disagreement (shalom bayis) issue.
Credit cards does not really give the impression that you are spending money, start using cash.
2scentsParticipantI dont feel comfrotable with a decent size dig sniffing my feet and coming to close to me.
2scentsParticipantRadioreferrecne is a bit delayed, if your a buff it might not work for you..
however if you dont care hearing delayed stuff, it should work.
2scentsParticipantIt depends on how often you plan on washing them, and how often you plan on changing shirts!
Like Popa pointed out, what you really need the most, is money.
January 1, 2013 4:02 pm at 4:02 pm in reply to: Help! Have Gallstones; Can I Avoid Gallbladder Removal?? #9255802scentsParticipantSomeone I know was having Gall stone attackes, two doctors recomended that he remove the gallbladder right away,
At the meeting with the surgeon, the surgeon did a thourough invesitagtion and stated that in his opinion any surgery should be a last resort, he recomended that the patient start a diciplined diet and see if the stones give him any problems.
He stated that a large percentage of people have stones yet do not have any problems with the gallblader.
I know that it is considered a minor surgery. However as I once heard, the difference between small and big surgery, small is when its by someone else, big when its by you.
youtube gallbladder removal surgery and watch the surgery, I would not want to have it if it is not absolutly necessary.
Therefore, I think that you should get a few opinions and not jump for surgery.
December 31, 2012 8:15 pm at 8:15 pm in reply to: Teenager Caught Smoking Cigarettes – Any Advice? #9169402scentsParticipant007,
This is what I tell people who ask me why I do not smoke. Lets visit Memorial hospital and talk to the patients.
Its just not worth it.
2scentsParticipantI am still waiting for this Zeeskite thing to get cleared up.
I still see ZK posting here and there.
Is this a sick person, or just an innocent young lady?
2scentsParticipantOK, not so sure its fun out here. to many Emergencies EMS cannot reach all patients. I hope no one gets hurt.
2scentsParticipantRtabs,
Dressing outside is to much to ask, since its against Halacha and its more for the husbands ego.
After all, she is not you trophy.
2scentsParticipantyekke, #2 I heard similar from Harav Avigdor Miller.
2scentsParticipantWhat do you mean with your regular posting? are you a regular poster?
under which name were you posting?
2scentsParticipantinteresting,
your spelling and grammar skills improved overnight.
All of sudden you are out there creating new threads.
I hope your name doesnt start with a J..
2scentsParticipantphdmom,
Your last sentence is very true.
“the women have the power to protect our marriage.”
2scentsParticipantNah, unprecedented to keep a secret..
2scentsParticipantuneeq,
I wasnt aware that it was supposed to come out in 09.
I think that the current release date is somewhere in January.
2scentsParticipantSorry, I was unable to edit my post,
I meant to write.
That the WIndows 8 XPS 12, can either be a tablet, or switched to a regular laptop. better yet, it has regular wondows 8, not some mobile edition.
2scentsParticipantPhew, I didn’t know the mods really read each post, I better start watching what i post!
2scentsParticipantYom tov leaves and forgets to take along the calories he brought..
2scentsParticipantLooking back at posts, things look much different then when I read it initially.
I am not sure that the characters behind these user names are real!
2scentsParticipantI think the point is to constantly remember, that not everyone that appears to be just an innocent online poster is what (s)he appears, people with bad motives can hide behind those innocent masks.
2scentsParticipantMaybe there should be a grenade in the resource closet ready to use!
2scentsParticipantBump
2scentsParticipantWhat do you mean by dangerous?
I know of someone that used to light outside, he once woke up to find out that his entire family’s menora’s were no longer there.
no longer does he light outside.
2scentsParticipant147,
Another thing Rav Avigdor Miller ZT’L said, is that men should only seek help from men and ladies from ladies.
Avraham Migayer es ha’anushim, V’sara migayeres es hanoshim.
He stated that he is aware of a case, in which a young man tried to help a young women and he got hooked onto her..
2scentsParticipantI think that it’s not that bad that he is officially disassociating himself from the frum oilem.
At lease he is showing his true colors.
2scentsParticipantI think that it is better that he is showing his true colors. Since up until now his fans were arguing that he means it for Hashems sake and he understands hashem better than our Rabbanim.
However he is now showing the surface of his true colors, as someone that knew him early on, I know that he is idolizes Female singers and he tries to imitate songs that are full of shmutz.
He has no problem performing in a mixed dancing environment.
I hope that he will now officially claim that he is on the ‘other side’.
2scentsParticipantDenim, I dont know .
Long skirts in my opinion is as if the person is not really dressed.
2scentsParticipantI wish that he would stop saying that he is doing all of this for the sake of Hashem.
Its sad to see how he claims that all the stuff he is doing is only for the sake of Achdus and hashem, anyone that followed before he got popular knows that that he is in a downward spiral.
What else will he do “to make people happy”?
2scentsParticipantSome therapists have the ability to see if the person has been abused .
Nothing gets erased from the mind, it might be difficulty to retrieve the information, however with training and expertise professionals have the power of helping people remember.
December 5, 2012 8:09 pm at 8:09 pm in reply to: Why do Litvish and Modern men always have their top shirt button open? #9111332scentsParticipantIts much more comfortable that way.
I don’t know from where you take it that it is more of a litvish thing to leave the top button open, and a chasidshe thing to have it buttoned.
December 5, 2012 8:06 pm at 8:06 pm in reply to: Why do Chassidish men and boys always have their top shirt button closed? #9112862scentsParticipantI dont know how you established that Chassidim close the top button.
2scentsParticipantI did try to list them, however the mods thought that it is not appropriate for this forum and did not let it through.
2scentsParticipantserious?
because one asked for advice, does not mean that she has any obligation to expose her decisions.
2scentsParticipantNo, I don’t like his songs, since they are very similar to modern day non Jewish music.
I neither like it when he performs live and uses tunes of dirty songs with his own words.
2scentsParticipantWAT?
2scentsParticipantNo, they always crash into moving cars.
2scentsParticipantIced,
I don’t if its assur or not, however in some circles it’s deemed inappropriate.
2scentsParticipantWhat does turkey and thanking have in common?
2scentsParticipantHealth,
..and this is after you said that you are not a posek.
2scentsParticipantZDAD,
are you talking from experience?
With my experience, a therapist plays with ones emotions, talks about the clients personal experience, a lot of room to establish a personal connection.
is it right or professional? probably not, however there is the risk of establishing a personal relationship.
A regular health care professional does not have this risk.
2scentsParticipantHealth,
I do not know why you are assuming that this was the intent of the OP. In fact I did and still do view it as an innocent question.
I do not think that you can compare therapy to a doctors visit. A Doctors exam is objective, its not in any way similar to a therapy session.
With therapy, the therapist will discuss the clients emotions and feelings, there is a lot of room for personal relationship.
2scentsParticipantDont know why you prefer war, war brings death, we have loved ones living there, I fear for their well being.
2scentsParticipantWhat story?
