Anyone else going "STOP APOLOGIZING! WE CARE ABOUT THE CONTENT CREATOR MORE THAN THE CONTENT. CAUSE WITHOUT ONE WE DON'T HAVE THE OTHER REGARDLESS!" Either that or "REST GOSH DANG IT!"
I've just accepted that Stephen is unable to relax unless he's working. It's just the way he's wired. It's why he always takes his laptop with him in vacations.
As someone who is also a creator, I can understand the other side. You feel an obligation when you have fans/followers/supporters, and want to live up to their support. Yes sometimes life gets in the way, but you still feel you let people down somehow. It's weird, but it's a thing.
When I was listening to you talking about having to change your own bandages, I was cringing _so_ bad. Wow. I'm so sorry this all had to happen to you, Stephen. :(
As someone who suffers from constipation and GI issues, farting can be one of the biggest reliefs in the world for stomach pains when you know that's causing the pain.
As someone who's had multiple hernia surgeries in the past I can definitely relate on the bathroom issues. Hopefully you're feeling better by now Stephen.
When I had my gallbladder removed, it was also through laparoscopic surgery with 4 incisions and they didn't tell me about the use of co2 until after, but my right shoulder ended up hurting terribly for days because of it. I remember the pain in my shoulder being worse than the pain in my gut.
The vlogs are near as a hair TWO months behind. All this footage is old, and this experience has thankfully been put behind him. Don't worry, he's completely recovered. :)
Years ago I was in a car accident (my fault) and I broke my 4th and 5th ribs. I had to roll out of bed because I couldn't sit up like normal. My boyfriend had to wash my hair because I couldn't reach up. I had to use an incentive spectrometer to make sure I was breathing deep enough or I would develop pneumonia. I still vividly remember the day after my accident, I had unsuccessfully taken a shower and was walking to my side of the bed when I took a breath that was juuuust deep enough that my ribs expanded and I felt and heard a loud "POP" as my cartilage settled. My boyfriend who was standing on the other side of the room heard it, too. I screamed in pain and just stood there crying because I knew if I collapsed onto the bed it would hurt worse. I was prescribed Oxycontin for a bit because I was broken and bruised and it helped a little but my doctor ended up taking me off it after a few days because it made me constipated. I guess I typed all this out to say: I feel you on the sitting up thing and the wishing you could poop thing. Also if someone happens to read all this: wear your seat belt. I didn't and I paid the price.
Jennifer Gilchrist What a story. My parents got in a really bad car accident and my mom was pregnant with me and they didn't know that. We were all fine and by that moment we all found out my mom was pregnant with me. My dad got injured on his neck a bit. But things happen in life.
I'm right with Mal in terms of squeamishness. I remember my aunt described triple by-pass surgery to me and I almost fainted. Just looking at a wound makes me feel light headed.
Stephen. I've watched a full length movie that took place entirely in a phone booth and another one that took place in an elevator, and one in a court house now that I think about it, one 15 minute vlog on your couch is not that bad.
so, is farts and poop a popular vlog topic? if I made a vlog in the future, would you recommend I focus on intimate medical issues? I have lots of fun anecdotes about periods. (srsly though, hope you're feeling better at the moment, Stephen, this whole thing sounds like it must have been scary )
I've had quite a few dental surgeries (as in oral surgery in a hospital surgery) in my life, and I have a pretty high pain threshold, I still remember taking Tylenol 3s for the first time at 16. They basically said "you should take these", I wasn't in much pain, but figured "eh, when am I ever going to get to try these again". I "woke up" like 4 hours later playing video games quietly in my room lol. It's just brain fog for multiple hours for me, but I hated it and just took regular-strength Tylenol for the rest of the recovery.
You had a catheter in... I am so sorry! I was so glad that when I got my appendix removed, I didn't have to have one! I'm so sorry you had to have one though, I couldn't imagine it!! 😰
You may not have felt like it at the time, but you lucked out getting it done as a laparoscopic surgery. Having a laparotomy suuucks. My incision was only about 3 inches, but coughing was a fetal position only activity. :( I was too afraid to sneeze for a week.
I remember when I had to get surgery done in March, I know exactly how you felt at that moment about being bloated and waiting for the farts. Had to get a huge cyst removed, and it was god awful
Oh god, Percocet. Had that prescribed after I had my gall bladder removed and I was so dizzy and sleepy that I just slept for thirty-six straight hours. My mom wanted to take me to the ER again xD
It's been a long time since I had surgery (in the lower abdomen area) but I remember the first poop being bad. Everything else was great because I was like 12 years old and all of my relatives bought me sweets and stuff.
I cannot believe you left the hospital so soon. When my parents had theirs done they were not allowed to leave till they went potty (1 and 2) and passed gas. Dad was in for 1 day my mom was in for a week. Her appendix had burst :/
I was in the hospital for a month after I got my appendix taken out because I got a infection after the surgery. I wasn't in any pain though because they had me on morphine but I had constant fevers and threw up quite a bit.
3:46 Maybe it's just that you no longer show it on the vlog as often because of how regularly you make it but it seems like you and Mal haven't been eating as many home made pizzas of late.
This feels eerily familiar to me, because I've had several laparoscopic procedures. I've also had several colonoscopies, which kind of lead to the same issue, because they have to blow your colon up like a balloon to see anything, and all that gas has to come back out. After a colonoscopy, they actually make you roll from one side to the other, so you kind of feel like a rotisserie chicken, in an attempt to push the gas out.
You will tecover, we all know that, just hope it's sooner than later bud. No I'm not surprised he's talking about his favorite subject of f.arts. of course he's got problems, he's a glass menagerie. good luck my dude, I root for ya!
When I got my surgery, I had to sleep half sitting (mine was also at the abdomen level). I had a big ottoman like you guys do and it is great to sleep.
Oh man I wish I'd thought to mention at the time, after my laparoscopy they gave me peppermint tea to tackle the bloat pain and oh man does that work! The pain from bloat was pretty nasty if you hit the wrong angles.
sounds like laparoscopic is a lot messier afterwords. Laparoscopic was a thing when I had mine done but the military doctors for some reason didn't do it. so I had it done the old fashioned way. the bandaging stuff wasn't all that bad and since I didn't have all that Co2 in my body I didn't need the Gas X. but I do have a pretty big scar.I had Naproxen which knocked me out cold (I didn't need to take it that often thank god since that feeling made me kinda want to vomit.) but I also didn't have as much pain afterwards. (but my pain threshold is crazy stupid high (I had appendicitis for 3-4 days before I had it taken out.))
I had to have my appendix out when I was 22, right after I had a Wendys frosty and a big Coke. I always thought that combination of food is what caused it.
And thus I am thankful I only had surgery on my ankle. I don't think gas was a big issue for me and the pain afterwards was very minimal. I did have a giant fart right after the surgery though when they told me to try and use the bathroom. Took a bit, but that and the burp I had felt great
when I got my appendix removed. they made three tiny cuts... but I guess Stephen got a huge slash across his belly. where his belly button is... I got to feel pretty lucky. normally I lay on my belly on my laptop.... I was able to do that in 2 days... Stephen gots it much worse.... EDIT: so Stephen got the exact same surgery I did.... I had none of these problems.. that doctor must of been a really bad doc... I didn't take gas-x or Tylonal 5. I just took some stool softner and extra strength Ibeprofin.... and stop after 2 days.. it's been 4 months or so and I still have most of the bottle.... And I did not bleed that much.. I had a little scab and that was it... most of it was a glue that they put on.. but god stephen.. is this what they mean by city docs being worse then country docs.... Oh fun fact I almost got my leg sugically removed cause they thought I had an air bubble in my leg.. I couldn't move my right leg at all... so they said they had to take it off or I would die.. my mom said no. (I was in kindergarten.) and took me home... when she called the school to tell them I couldn't go she said. "his leg is a bit hurt." And they said. "oh well he was riding that scooter all day yesterday." I had literally drove just my right leg to exhaustion and that's why I couldn't move it at all.... And they frickin wanted to cut off my leg... (this was in Phoenix Arizona.)
You know you've been watching StephenVlog for a long time when Stephen talking about his bathroom issues is a normal vlog topic
Anyone else going "STOP APOLOGIZING! WE CARE ABOUT THE CONTENT CREATOR MORE THAN THE CONTENT. CAUSE WITHOUT ONE WE DON'T HAVE THE OTHER REGARDLESS!" Either that or "REST GOSH DANG IT!"
Yep.... even though this is a so old video.
I've just accepted that Stephen is unable to relax unless he's working. It's just the way he's wired. It's why he always takes his laptop with him in vacations.
I gave up on that argument a LONG time ago.
As someone who is also a creator, I can understand the other side. You feel an obligation when you have fans/followers/supporters, and want to live up to their support. Yes sometimes life gets in the way, but you still feel you let people down somehow. It's weird, but it's a thing.

So when's the "Pray for Farts" shirt?
MissJackieLin more importantly, where is the one of all hail the mighty nurse that brought Stephen a ginger ale
or the take that sleep bank
When I was listening to you talking about having to change your own bandages, I was cringing _so_ bad. Wow. I'm so sorry this all had to happen to you, Stephen. :(
Where is NCS when ya need him? Oh wait he's probably IN THE BATHROOM

Stephen we are all rooting for you too get better so hope you get better soon
actually i think he's already feeling better
Yeah, this vlog was recorded a month ago.
EonArashi like 3 years ago..
The vlogs are near as a hair TWO months behind. All this footage is old, and this experience has thankfully been put behind him. Don't worry, he's completely recovered. :)
"Pray for Farts"...Stephen George, you made my evening. Sorry you had to go through all this.
I've never heard someone describe their feces as "soft-serve." Now I have. I don't know how to feel about this.
You can always hit up Tim if you need some tips on farting

As someone who recently underwent gallbladder surgery this is spot on.
I would be so done if this happened to me. Also I'd feel awful for my roommates because my farts are deadly enough as is lol.
SOFT SERVE STYLE?!
We have reached new lows, friends.

The way they were looking at you, you would think you were on your deathbed saying your last words
i prayed for farts. and it came.
The couch is the star of the channel after all
I'm right with Mal in terms of squeamishness. I remember my aunt described triple by-pass surgery to me and I almost fainted. Just looking at a wound makes me feel light headed.
@5:55 ya know IN THE BATHROOM

...I just ate some soft serve before watching this...
Stephen, so hope you're feeling better.

I can report that any strong pain medication also makes me EXTREMELY woozy and out of it.
There should be a t-shirt where it resembles the album cover for mask off, but with stephen taking on and off the skull kids mask instead.
You may not have felt like it at the time, but you lucked out getting it done as a laparoscopic surgery. Having a laparotomy suuucks. My incision was only about 3 inches, but coughing was a fetal position only activity. :( I was too afraid to sneeze for a week.
Also, I lucked out not having stitches or staples, God bless Dermabond.

Both of my parents have had laproscopic surgeries and they both said that the belly button incision was the worst.
are Nikki and Austin having a boy or a girl and when did Stephen announce it on the vlog
we recorded an episode of GTA and it was kind of a bad thing but not for reasons you would expect....OH I FULLY EXPECTED THAT LOL
When I got my surgery, I had to sleep half sitting (mine was also at the abdomen level). I had a big ottoman like you guys do and it is great to sleep.
pick the pain, as someone who has had vertigo, dizziness is the worst thing ever :(
This is a very ironic comment to see three years later, now that Stephen has also had vertigo...
Put the vlog title on a t-shiry
That Blue wall though.
Oh man I wish I'd thought to mention at the time, after my laparoscopy they gave me peppermint tea to tackle the bloat pain and oh man does that work! The pain from bloat was pretty nasty if you hit the wrong angles.
sounds like laparoscopic is a lot messier afterwords.

(but my pain threshold is crazy stupid high (I had appendicitis for 3-4 days before I had it taken out.))
When I broke my ankle in 2010 the doctor had me get percocet & it made me dizzy as well,so much so that I refused to take them ever again!
Hi Stephen! I hope your ok.
I had to have my appendix out when I was 22, right after I had a Wendys frosty and a big Coke. I always thought that combination of food is what caused it.
And thus I am thankful I only had surgery on my ankle. I don't think gas was a big issue for me and the pain afterwards was very minimal. I did have a giant fart right after the surgery though when they told me to try and use the bathroom. Took a bit, but that and the burp I had felt great
Man hearing about this surgery makes me jealous. Three little holes? Mine was just a barbaric foot and a half cut down my leg.
TIME TO POOP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the longest time I thought her nickname was Nal not Mal until realised that wasn't a name, Mal is nicer (it's short for Mallory isn't it?)
when I got my appendix removed. they made three tiny cuts... but I guess Stephen got a huge slash across his belly. where his belly button is...
I got to feel pretty lucky. normally I lay on my belly on my laptop.... I was able to do that in 2 days...
Stephen gots it much worse....
EDIT: so Stephen got the exact same surgery I did.... I had none of these problems..
that doctor must of been a really bad doc...
I didn't take gas-x or Tylonal 5.
I just took some stool softner and extra strength Ibeprofin.... and stop after 2 days..
it's been 4 months or so and I still have most of the bottle....
And I did not bleed that much.. I had a little scab and that was it... most of it was a glue that they put on.. but god stephen..
is this what they mean by city docs being worse then country docs....
Oh fun fact I almost got my leg sugically removed cause they thought I had an air bubble in my leg.. I couldn't move my right leg at all... so they said they had to take it off or I would die.. my mom said no. (I was in kindergarten.) and took me home... when she called the school to tell them I couldn't go she said. "his leg is a bit hurt."
And they said. "oh well he was riding that scooter all day yesterday."
I had literally drove just my right leg to exhaustion and that's why I couldn't move it at all....
And they frickin wanted to cut off my leg... (this was in Phoenix Arizona.)
Only take 1/2 a pill.
Kelsey is our Savior
Farting is good.
Not a whole lot grosses me out, but soft served poop is really disgusting
Show us scar pictures
