WHAT!!!! Having Weylie's in the morning and yours in the evening?!! Totally made my day ladies😘
Praise God girl 🙏🏽 I can’t believe you were going through all that. Thanks for sharing! Your scars are sexy!
Which of Weylie's channels do you subscribe to?:)
theFitty Ilikeweylie
@@duensi gotcha. Me too I think!:)
Still going through chemo, so that last bit of the video hit home for me. Thanks for sharing and giving an update on your health! It’s always amazing to hear when personal health does make a turn around for people that really long for that change in their life and are proactive with it afterwards 🙂
Your video was a huge comfort for me in the days leading up to my laparoscopic cholecystectomy and hearing your fears was such great validation for me. Five months post op and I'm feeling better than ever. So happy to hear that it went well for you too!
I got my thyroid removed this year after being very sick for over a year. I guess this year was the year of taking leaps for your health🥰✨I'm so glad you're doing better now!!
I’ve missed youuuu! You were gone for long, I was starting to worry huhu glad you’re back. Hope everything is okay ❤️
Thanks for sharing your health journey with us! I’m currently going through something myself and feel so frustrated! Glad that you figured out what was wrong and feel so much better!
Wow this is exactly what I needed to hear. Ive been dealing with a chronic illness for a while and I've had started to tell myself "maybe this is just my life now". You're reminding me and all of us hey this isn't normal keep on fighting. Thank you so much, I will always keep this video in mind when I start giving in.
Your battle scars are beautiful and in the grand scheme of things, your health is the most important. So sorry that you have been dealing with this for so long. I hate that feeling when no one is understanding the pain that you are feeling, its such a lonely feeling. So glad that you happy and healthy.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I’m literally experiencing the same thing, same feeling, same pain after eating and needing to forcefully puke just to feel normal! I did an endoscopy last year and was told everything was fine and reverted back to my old ways. Hearing your story motivates me to do something about it.
GIRL!! I was checking UA-cam nonstop wondering if you were okay! (I had to delete IG temporarily to focus on school) but I am so happy you finally uploaded.
Never understood when I use to read people’s comments underneath other UA-camrs videos talking about how they keep refreshing for new uploads but that’s literally what I was doing. Lol Missed your content. Missed You! Glad you’re back🤗
My gallbladder was dead in my body for three years. I got it out in March and have never felt so good in my entire life
hi girls, i am about to do the removal surgery as well. i just wonder how's the recovery? do u experience bad diarrhea constantly? or just the beginning after surgery?
@@rinnc331 hi did you get yours removed yet?
@@mnaz650 hey! Yeh did it last December . Everything goes well’
@@rinnc331 awesome! happy to hear!
@@rinnc331 i know this sounds stupid but am 21 and doctors have asked me to undergo the surgery as well.
I have so many questions and am nervous about it, will i be ever able to party and have a few drinks with friends? Will i be able to occasionally treat myself once a month with fries or burgers?
Thank you for this video! I know exactly how you feel, I also now had my gallbladder removed last month on 10/25 and have been healing for a few weeks now. I also did take a while to actually be like this is enough, the attacks would keep me up for hours at night and would exhaust me for the next day .. I am so happy I finally said enough & decided to say yes to the surgery! I am now waiting to be off of modified duty to get back into a healthy lifestyle .. I can’t wait to get to work out & get moving into a great new lifestyle ❤️
Glad you are doing well, Sophia! 🌼 Your surgey video was one that I watched before having mine a week ago. Thanks for sharing your experience 🙏🏼
Welcome back Soph 💖 and, good luck continuing with your recovering!!!
“There is no greater feeling than trying to overcome a sickness or illness that you have just so that you can live a better life.” I love what you said about this bc it’s so relatable to everything, even mental health. We should always strive to take steps to improve these things for the sake of our wellbeing. Even tho I can’t relate to this video whatsoever, it’s such a powerful story to share - thank you for inspiring us to take care of ourselves, to prioritize ourselves, and to put in that work. It’s so great to see you’re doing well. Much love xoxo
Hi Sophia! 🥰 I just want to say how happy and relieved I am to be able to hear you feel much better and healthier post-surgery. I hope that you continue to be your best self and living the life you deserve. I love you 🍯
As a chronic pain sufferer, I have cried and broken down in front of so many doctors and nurses. Now I don't give a shit anymore because I'm the one dealing with it. So glad none of them have reacted poorly yet. lol
Wow, this was very eye opening for me because I have been dealing with a similar situation since the 4th grade and I'm now 25. Thank you for this video. I am now encouraged to be proactive and start doing something about my issue. I never thought about how I made others around me felt 😢
Wow I didnt know this. It sounds very painful and I can't imagine dealing with it for years. I'm glad you finally got ur answer and got surgery!
What an incredible story and video ❤️thank you so much for sharing this and inspiring others - this a gift (so happy you’re feeling better )
hi sophia! thank you for sharing your story :) i'm in my third year of medical school and thought it may be helpful to share some info with you. i hope this doesn't come across as preachy - i think it's important to empower our patients to understand what's going on with their own health and why things are done the way that they are.
for starters, i could definitely hear your frustration about the normal endoscopy results. an endoscopy would not have shown gallstones - it sounds like they were working you up for acid reflux (thus the pantoprazole). i'm not sure why they started you on advair as that's usually used for asthmatics or people with COPD - maybe you were describing some intermittent chest pain and difficulty breathing?
it sounded like your presentation was non-specific with your indigestion pains, and your age/presentation is not typical for gallstones which may be why it was not diagnosed sooner (the risk factors are commonly known as the 4 F's: female, fat (obesity), fertile (multiple pregnancies), forty). this is not to say that people without these risk factors can't get gallstones, but it may not have been at the top of your doctor's differential.
anyway, i'm so glad you're feeling better now after your cholecystectomy and again, thank you for sharing! hope this was helpful. much love
Radiology resident over here and I was about to say the same thing about the endoscopy vs. ultrasound (unless it was an echo-endoscopy). Although an abdominal ultrasound is a fairly cheap and fast exam so they might have thrown that in way earlier, especially if she was already followed by a gastroenterologist. But again, retrosternal pain is definitely not a typical symptom of impacted gallstones. Glad she’s doing better now, one way or another it’s always frustrating when something’s wrong but everyone tells you there’s nothing wrong.
I went through the same thing as a child as well but the only difference is that mine was taken out when I was like 11.
Was wondering when you were going to upload a video, so glad u uploaded! Missed you ❤️❤️❤️
I felt for you hard when you said "pooping after days of constipation. That shit hurt." Cus i cried while pooping after days of constipation after my appendectomy. So happy to see you took action for your health and you're healthier now. You're radiating a different amazing energy from your videos these days.
I’ve been dealing with this pain for over a year. I had to go to the ER 3-4 months ago and the doctor confirmed that it was gallstones. Surgery is recommended and I’ve been soooo much better in regards to food choices. Even with better food choices, I get faint pains from time to time. I’d like to opt for surgery, but due to financial reasons (and crappy health insurance), it’s not in the cards for me right now. Maybe sometime in the new year.
So glad to see you feeling better girl. 💕
Thank you for making this video, there’s not much out there in terms of real experiences with gall bladder attacks and surgery. I watched your first video and then this one and it really helped me chill a bit about the idea of the surgery and life after the surgery as well. Hope you’re doing well, have a good one eh.
Thank you for your video! I've been dealing with a similar situation with my health, and I really appreciate your advice and your sharing. I'm still looking for the answer to mine, but I'll remember to continue trying and have patience
I'm so happy for you, Sophie! I'm currently a medical student and your story is so inspiring and motivating for me to be the best future doctor I can be. I love everything you are about. See you this Saturday at yours and Weylie's Womn event!
Your video has given me so much hope. I have been having the same experience for the past year. It came out of nowhere. I’ve been to so many doctors and just finally got my gallbladder looked at. Excited to get surgery now 😭 thank you 🙏🏼 I miss food 😩
so glad you're happy and doing great. listening to your story reminded me of this series on netflix. idk if you've heard or seen it, but the show's called diagnosis. it's a really good show and i think you can relate to some of their stories!
So happy to hear that you’re feeling so much better! 💞💞
Also, I just have to say your voice is SO nice. You should really start your own podcast! ☺️
this is helping me so much as I go through finding out "what's wrong with me"... thank you for sharing your story
Aww Soph I am so happy that the surgery went well for you! Yeah I always hate seeing people I love go through pain.. seriously the cruelest feeling that I could ever have.
Thank you for sharing. Physical or mental struggle is something we feel we need to take care of ourselves. And if we feel we need to take care of it ourselves, it affects everybody around us, and sometimes it takes more struggle and more problems to finally realize we need help of some sort. I totally understand that you weren't patient to find out what was wrong with you. I can't eat dairy or wheat, and every time I get tested doctors always say everything is fine. I know its not, and I can't deal with the diagnosis at all rn. I just stay away from the whole testing thing and eat what makes me feel good.
I had mine out too this year. 7 months ago. No more pain! 👍🏻 But recovery was hard and longer than yours. Everyone is different. It did change my life. I had to change my lifestyle with food, stress, activity. The scars suck. But not as bad as the pain I was in before 🙃
Glad you're feeling better Soph ❤ I binge watch your vlogs every month
Hi Sophia, i just found your vlog . I am about to have my gallbladder removed and just hearing you explain your attacks gives me hope coz i have been in pain for a long time. I finaly found a doctor who look into my problems .
Sophia, you’re such an amazing person! Seriously, I watched you since Fashionista804 ( Sooooo lonnnnggggg!) Through your M.a.c career, you were my inspiration that got me into makeup also, with being a m.ac artist myself for 4 years now. I have to say your heart is pure, especially with your family video, that really touched my heart. You’ve been through a lot these past years, however you still manage to come on here for your subbies, and followers. We NEED more people like you doll. Hope all is well, you’re perfect! Don’t let any one, nor your self bring you down at times. Smile ✨fighting! Your loyal subbie V!
@sophiachang Fighting!
It's nice to hear from you 🖤 love your channel and thanks for the update on your health!
Hi Sophia. Hope your recovery goes very smoothly and quick as possible. So sorry you went through all of this. Glad you shared your story. You're very pretty. I enjoyed your collab on Jenn's channel with hyuneeEats. All the very best. Happy Holidays.
So happy you are doing better!! Great message.
This spoke to me so deeply. Thank you for sharing your story. Getting mine out next week. Can't wait for this to be put behind me 😌
Just had my gallbladder removed two days ago. The pain is real! I’m mostly afraid of eating at this point and I’m slowly adding in foods. Gas pains, incision pains ugh. Thank you for your calm and reassuring videos. Very appreciative considering the crazy info that’s out there. 🙂
How are you feeling now. I am up for one, I am really scared
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I was at the ER this past Tuesday after having two other attacks. I am awaiting approval from insurance for my surgery. I'm 61years old. The pain I experienced was tremendous pressure at the lower sternum, back pain, and vomiting so violently that I would pee on myself with each heave. Being sick during Covid didn't even hinder my decision to go to the ER. I woke up with the pain at about8:30 a.m. during a camping trip. I was in the middle of the desert, the pain didn't subside so at 8:30 p.m. I went to the ER. They immediately did an EKG because of the location of the pain. They drew blood and I had a CatScan. From arrival until I was put in an examination room was9 hours.
I just had mine taken out a while ago! It still hurts so much. Hoping i’ll recover soon.
Everytime i watch ur video, i got so inspired! thank you sophie.
Ahhh! Yes! The way you describe the "attacks!" It was the worst. I couldn't sleep, sit- everything was extremely uncomfortable. Luckily I had my removed & have not had an attack.
Your story about the post-surgery experience of not enough pain medications, constipation, and pain when laughing brought me back to when I had my C-Section this year in March! For your scars, maybe you can try the c-section scar patches if you'd like to smooth them out a bit :)
I had to have my gallbladder removed a few years ago and my only regret was...why did I not take care of this health issue sooner!
The post-op pain I experienced after the operation was short-lived and nowhere near the pain I endured before the gallbladder was removed!
I`m just speaking in regards to my experience, I realize not everyone who has to have a surgical procedure performed on them will have the same outcome.
Thanks for another awesome vlog!
Sophia, I’ve been struggling with life lately. Watching your vlog calmed me down :)
Anh, I hope things get better for you soon ♥ It's just a matter of when, but it will get better, I'm sure. Much love!
@@Lavenna Lavenna, thank you so much for your kind comment. I don't ever comment on UA-cam typically, so I was shocked to receive a response. I was studying at the library with my boyfriend when I read your comment, and started tearing up :') He was so shocked! He didn't know what was going on haha. But I was so touched. Again, thank you! Things have been getting better! I hope you are doing well too!
I also had to get my gallbladder removed when I was in my early 20’s! I had the same heartburn/indigestion in high school. And then in college I started getting minor gallstone attacks. They finally found out I had gallstones and got it removed. I don’t have anymore attacks, but I still get the runs every now and then ha Probably because I don’t have the gallbladder and extra bile storage. Hope you’re no experiencing that side effect lol But so glad I got it done!!
i got my very first surgery when i was 14 years old and the experience was very scary, seeing those doctors from time to time, admited into the hospital for more than a month but im glad that my family gave me the support i needed during that special time :)
Soooo happy that you’re doing a lot better after the surgery!!! I always say my scars tell my story too! 💖💖💖
I'm so happy that you are finally pain free now!!!💛💛💛
Yassss I was just checking to make sure I didn’t miss any videos!!
THANK you for this. I’m throwing up everyday. I’ve been in the emergency room four times in the past three weeks. I use to throw up and force myself too because it made me SO nauseous. It’s affecting everyone around me…. My boyfriend is so hurt and my mom knowing they can’t help me. I am getting test done to make sure but God your story sounds exactly like mine. Thank you for sharing… this is so insightful. I’ve been so scared because some people have complications after.
Thanks for sharing what I think is really a condition that needs to be researched more thoroughly. I too had very similar experiences with the attacks etc. Was immediately told by a specialist to take out my gallbladder since I had a gallstone the size of a golfball. I'm going onto 10 years and I absolutely regret not pursuing the route of medication first. Everyone is different but just to share I had massive weight gain, all the same gastro issues that everyone has warned you about, colitis, becoming lactose, and even residual buildup trying to form on the bile ducts that are essentially just floating in your body since the bladder is missing (it looked like a silver bullet). I had to go back in for another surgery to remove that since it was causing me similar types of pain. I would just say keep monitoring your health, the struggle never ends as I truly believe god gave you organs for a reason and if you change your physiology something else is compromised.
Thank you Sophia! After hearing your story, I think I will have mine done..Wish me luck
Holy quality of this video! What camera did you switch too?! 😱
There is a cream to fade the scar. Last December I was diagnosed with stage 2 thyroid papillary cancer and had my thyroid removed. And the scar was a good lengthy from my left ear to the center of my throat. I’ve been using the cream Mederma that I bought from Walmart. My first scar is almost completely gone and can’t tell that I had surgery. I just had another surgery on my right side of my neck and it’s much bigger. I am currently still using the cream and I believe it will fade like the first scar. I hope this helps. You should try it out on your cute scars.
So crazy I came across your UA-cam again and remembered watching you with red hair. Unfortunately I’ve had to make different yt usernames where I would lose my subscriptions. But glad to know you’re doing well :)
This video helps so much. Post op day 5. I could see the light! 😊 thank u for the video it’s helps so much
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I'm about to have surgery in a few weeks and after seeing your video- am less scared and more excited for it- I have been dealing with indigestion pain my entire life as well and for the past couple of years- been needing at least one or two trips to the ER a year because of the pain- in 2020 I only went to the ER once because of the pandemic but I had four separate indigestion/stomach pains that lasted for the whole day- earlier this year I had two of those incidents but just as soon as I started recovering I had gallstone attack that lasted from that night until the next day- since this pain was new, I decided to go to the ER and they confirmed that I have gallstones- I was in the same boat as you were where I was not getting any definite answers and was confused an unsure about a lot- my dad was also against me getting surgery at first - but once I did more research and heard other people's stories including yours, I became sure this is what I wanted to do- I am hopeful that my health and relationship with food will become a lot better after this surgery :)
*did you find the keto diet easier, or harder because you had your gallbladder removed? It works for people either way, but I'm just curious about your experience.also, I just want to say that it's so good to see you again! It's been over a week and I was actually just thinking about you the other day and today you just uploaded.*
You are so inspired me , god bless you with your health I pray Amen !
my scars look like yours :) i had a laparoscopy too to diagnose endometriosis. Im glad you took care of yourself. Love you!
I love u talk like that not blogging I don't like blog I'm sorry but when u talk about ur relationships or about ur healthy it make me feel so related
🙏🙏🙏 for a safe recovery 🙏🙏🙏
omgosh i had the same thing going on for years and never had it taken care of and finally in May 2012 i was soooo sick and called an ambulance the doc said good thing i came in cuz i was about to die ... so i had it out i knew i had stones for years and i had it done laproscopic too ... then in 2016 i had a SERIOUS hysterectomy ... now if you wanna see a scar this one is about 16" to remove a huge fibroid that was bigger than a babies head that was outside my uterus ... i feel your pain im so glad you are better now so many people get their gallbladders out .. they seem like a useless organ ! at the time of my gallbladder removal they did a ERCP procedure first .. to get the stones out of my bile ducts that were about to kill me ... they also did a 2nd surgery which was to repair a umbilical hernia the gallbladder wasnt so bad it was the hernia that was making me a mess ... those scars will disappear get that cream i forget the name it'll make them disappear my gall bladder scars are gone but the hysterectomy scar looks better ... i had an attack in August after my surgery there was another stone somehow that passed through the duct even though the gallbladder was gone .. so glad you are OK and feeling well :)
happy this was able to solve your problems and remove your pain!
i’ve missed you! ❤️
The first time I had a gallbladder attack was 6/2020 and it woke me up from my sleep and lasted a day and half. After that I didn’t feel again until after covid 4/2021. Ive had multiple gallbladder attacks that have lasted days. Tomorrow I’m finally having surgery to remove my gallbladder. Super nervous and scared but I’m hoping the best. Love that I came across your page during these times ❤️ thank you
مرحبا اخبريني كيف كانت العملية ارجو التوضيح. اتمنى لك السلامة والعافية💜
Hi! How are you feeling now? I’m planning to have mine remove too.
@@motherofthequeen2434 لقد قمت بالعملية يوم الأحد دعواتك 🥺 للشفاء لي
i love you soph 💕
Do you fallow a certain diet after the surgery or can you eat normal everything?
I'm an aesthetic nurse and its very common for Asian skin types to take longer for the scar color to settle and fade, you can go to aesthetic clinic to get laser treatments to flatten and lighten the scar if you would like to expedite the process , if not it would just take a few years. I hope this helps. So brave Sophia!
Urgh I am so happy for u Sophia ❤️
U deserve it all. I hope you will feel healthier and happier with your body. I love you and Im proud of you. Such a strong and beautiful woman ❤️
Love that natural look. Gorgeous babe!!
I also had my gallbladder removed and I’m living my best life🤗🤗
@Jenifer belle I am curious too!
wonder if diarrhea happens very often?
Literally going through the same thing right now. Knowing something is wrong with me and my digestion but doctors dismissing me because I'm young and saying everything is fine with me when I just know it's not. In a test I had it showed I had gallstones but the doctor said it was nothing because I'm 21, they were gone in the next test I had but I just know that they were a product of whatever is going on with my digestive system. It hurts to have people say you're fine when you are in pain and wanting to know why so that you can put an end to it. Had family members ask me why I wasn't happy when the doctor told me my tests came back all fine and it's just so hard to explain that I'd rather have answers than false reassurances. You know when something is going on with you. Tired of going through so many tests and always getting nowhere.
Im going through this now & i love you
been puking alot. lost 13kg in a week. dr's in korea told me it was just a cold after 3 months of puking and 12 days of no food. then i got smaccckkkeed with excruciating pain. my last attack was 5 hours long.
I had my gallbladder removed in June (UK) and must say I had a pretty rough recovery - but nothing in comparison to the pain I was in when experiencing an attack. I haven’t had an attack since (fingers crossed) and I am so so unbelievably thankful 🙏🏼 I would spend sometimes days in bed just in absolute agony, constantly vomiting and I often think how did my body coped. We definitely don’t give our body’s enough credit. Whatever I ate was like a game of Russian roulette “is this going to trigger an attack?” was always the first thing on my mind taking a first bite of something. 5 months later and I have never felt better and you’re absolutely right, it totally makes you appreciate things and value your health 🙏🏼 What an amazing video to make Sophia and this will be SO helpful to those struggling/pre or post op, not just for people with gallbladder issues, just in general 👏🏼 So informative, refreshing and inspiring 🧡 You’re such a beautiful soul 😘
Dude… you explained my life. I’m awaiting test and am sure they’ll have to remove it. Wow I feel so seen and heard.
So so happy for you babe ❤️❤️❤️
Such an encouraging video
Yay to new video. Was wondering yesterday when will you be uploading a new one :)
Had my gallbladder removed two weeks ago! And feeling much better ❤️
Sandra Runaitė had mines removed today lol
so happy you came so far in your health journey ~
I'm getting my gallbladder removed tomorrow do you ever experience nausea after surgery? I'm very emetophobiac and I'm scared to feel sick after the surgery because the past 7 months I've always experience nausea each day and it scares me if I will still feel nauseous after surgery
Did having a belly button piercing affect the incision or have any infection risks?
Up until I had my gallbladder removed (I was 13, I'm 29 now), no one really figured it out and I was in and out of the hospital for a few years. I guess it never occurred to them that someone so young would have gallstones. It's so frustrating to be told time and time again that there's nothing wrong with you. It wasn't until I had gone to the ER multiple times did they finally confirm that I had gallstones and I would need surgery.
What I found out eventually after years of going to gastroenterologists and eastern medicine specialists is that some bodies are more prone to producing stones. I had several 'attacks' in my late teens (many years after the surgery) and early 20s that felt similar to what I felt when I had stones. One time I had pancreatitis, but other times it was because I had a stomach virus (so digestive system was not working properly) or when I'm in really stressed situations (no sleep, bad eating habits, etc)
I would say, as someone who's now dealing with the aftermath for more than half her life, is to pay really close attention to your body and how it's feeling, and how it reacts to what you eat. It's not just acid reflux/heartburn, it's also how your food digests, is it digesting correctly, how long is taking, are you 'regular', etc, as I'm sure you're figuring out. The lack of gallbladder leads to a possible lack of absorption of vitamins because your body can't breakdown fatty foods, or fat soluble vitamins, as well anymore. I have to now deal with managing my body and making sure I'm taking the right supplements (vitamins, probiotics+prebiotics) because even if I'm eating the right foods, my body won't be able to absorb nutrients as well as it would have with the gallbladder.
Thanks for making people aware of this. Its such a common procedure, but no one ever talks about it or how painful it really is to have gallstones! I wish the internet was more open about this when I was going through this so many years ago, maybe I would have picked up good habits much earlier! Maintaining healthy habits is key to living without a gallbladder. Glad to see you're doing well!
Hi Faria, what Vitamins/Pre/Probiotic are you taking? Just had mine taken out 2 days ago and I am freaking out, read and listened too much ( after the surgery) about why I shouldn’t have it removed.. just hoping I didn’t sign up for another health issue.
I had mine removed at 19 (im 30 now) it was just a gallstone removal but when the doctors got in me, they saw that my gallbladder is already in such bad shape that they had to remove it right away. I remember having bad heartburns from it at first .. then it got worse that i had high fevers for days already so i was rushed to the hospital. if i had one thing to regret though is that i did not research enough to what i could have actually done because now i have a 4inch scar from the procedure that i’ll have for the rest of my life. Lol. I go to the bathroom more often than usual now but i feel so much better😊
Your videos are so refreshing! The honestly and openness...thank you for everything! Also they are legit professional!
Just found out I have gallstones and when to attacks happens its the worst, can't think right or talk at all. I'm afraid to get the surgery
The only video i needed today ❤️❤️,as am so nervous about getting my gallbladder removed
How are you doing after having your gallbladder removed?
You can always get a tattoo to cover the scars but I think you're gorgeous and amazing inside and out
Has your diet changed from removing your gallbladder?
I got mine out today! Was not terrible pain. I’m excited for my results
Hi! Just wanted to know how you are feeling now? Any bad symptoms since surgery?
Any updates?
Love you soph💖💖💖💖
Your skin is glowing 😍😍💛
Hugs and kisses from Copenhagen! You are such a sunshine, Sophie! ❤️🌾
just a quick FYI! You cant see your gall bladder with endoscopy. endoscopy only looks through the GI tract :)
