There's no health forum so here we are

I'm unfamiliar with this, and would like to know more.

No I haven't but I did have my gallbladder removed. It felt weird as heck. Also I suggest gas ex or something to help get the extra gas and bloating down. That might help. I know it was a while before I felt normal again. 

I might need laparoscopic surgery soon.  It feels like it's taking a long time to get an appointment.  I have malfunctions of a TMI nature.  

Literally. 

Totally get what you’re going through — I had a laparoscopic appendectomy too, and the soreness on one side stuck around longer than I expected. The physical healing was one thing, but I didn’t expect how mentally draining it would be either. What really helped me during that time was starting depression therapy online. It gave me space to process the frustration and fear I didn’t know I was holding in. It made the recovery feel more manageable overall, not just physically. Hope you start feeling better soon — healing isn’t always linear, and that’s okay.
