major surgery tomorrow
    #15770212 -

i am undergoing my first major surgery tomorrow morning to have a pituitary adenoma removed. Found out a month ago with the help of an MRI after complaints of terrible headaches, chronic fatigue, depression. I've been coping with the pain by popping norcos regularly, but boy it has a bite to it when i try going a day without them(withdrawing?). I wonder how much longer i'll need to be on pain meds, or how difficult it would be to put them down once i've recovered. pretty much nodding right now, since i have a few left laying around and i've been a nervous wreck about this whole thing.. may as well enjoy this last night with my tumor(a little going away party).

I am quite a bit comforted with the knowledge that tomorrow is also a full moon. what a blessing

Gonna wait it out.
If there were no desire to heal The damaged and broken met along

And I still may ... (sigh) ... I still may.Be patient.
I must keep reminding myself of this.

Again, best of luck.

Don't overdo it on surgery. Could be bad just because you wanted to get high. Ask your doc for more AFTER surgery. :trippinbawelz:

hey man, i know it's scary and shit, but don't stress. once they hit you with the morphine and put you under general anaesthetic, you'll just wake up in the post-op room and not even remember what happened. it's like you go to sleep and wake up a minute later. i've woken up in post-op rooms and half not even realised i've just been through surgery.


if your worried beforehand about going into surgery when you are admitted to the hospital, just tell the nurses and say your really uncomfortable and you would like a sedative or something to mellow you out. they will give you a valium or some sleeping pills or something like that to chill you out



also , my dad went through 3 brain surgeries, each time we were all extremely worried that he would possibly die or suffer last consequences, but each time he woke up straight away and made a full recovery from the surgery with no lasting effects. brain surgeons are legit man. you don't just get to be a brain surgeon for nothing. so you should put your mind at ease in knowing that your in the hands of some of the most highly trained professionals in the medical fraternity, and you'll be alright nigga :thumbup:

Yeah that shit sounds scary as fuck but it looks like they just go through the nose/sinuses. Nothing to invasive, granted if it was me i would be a bit nervous, but hell, I am going to the dentist :smirk:
(that is if I read the right thing :shrug:)

Well, in any case, good thoughts your way and may you make a quick recovery. Might want to lay of the blow for a few weeks :tongue:

hate to burst your bubble but they typically won't give you morphine for this procedure.  Typically just codeine or similar since they have to be able to assess if you're having CSF leakage or similar.  I might have to get it done soon myself, at least the procedure has come a LONG way. 

Were your hormone profiles beyond saving or was it malignant?

my testosterone levels were significantly low. it isn't a prolactinoma, which i guess can be treated with cortisol steroids. both the endo and neuro voted for surgery. there is also stagnant blood present within the tumor(apoplexy?).

i was reading that recovery is generally a few weeks, but i cant blow my nose, bend over, lift more than 5 lbs. yeeesh.

Hey bro I'm pretty sure I have abnormally high levels of prolactin due to me being an Zyprexa.  Do you think if I got off the Zyprexa my prolactin levels would get back to normal or do you think i'd need cortisol steroids?  I assume cortisol steroids are bad for you?

i wouldn't know what to tell you. that's something you should talk to your doctor about. i'm new to all of this.

I'm shocked that they're opting for the surgery if the only problem you had was low T.  I have low T and elevated cortisol, albeit as annoying of a level as it is, as long as it doesn't get worse I'm gonna say no to surgery assuming it's not a massive tumor. 

Did they even bring up TRT?  You're still gonna need it plus possibly other hormone replacement after the surgery, they coulda at least tried that first.  Not trying to get you to guess your doctors, but I'm just very surprised with the information you have presented

odds are it will, pretty safe surgery.  Especially considering it involves your brain.  I've been doing work in a medsurge part of a hospital lately, seen plenty of this shit and they've all ended up fine
