re: Anyone on here ever had an exploratory surgery?
Posted by midlandtiger on 7/21/25 at 3:23 pm to schwartzy
Had 4 EGDs done with biopsies. All negative for every GI disorder you can think of. I was flabbergasted. The only real finding was an irregular Z line of the esophagus but it came negative for dysplasia

Not in an exploratory lap. It’s to simply diagnose, not treat

Is the pain truly abdominal like around belly button or more epigastric such as with heartburn
It’s more epigastric than abdominal

Is it really worth it in the end if they don’t even find anything? Part of me thinks that surgeons relent to doing it because they don’t want to turn patients away and lose revenue for the hospital

Bloating and nasty abdominal pain are really the only thing I’ve had tbh
Anyone on here ever had an exploratory surgery?

Have one scheduled soon for unexplained abdominal pain that’s been persisting for the past 2 years. Had a million different kinds of tests and imaging that showed nothing. Nervous as hell because it’s pretty invasive but worth it since my QOL has been absolute dogshit. Luckily insurance is willing to cover it

Why would BK bring in Hurley, who has never played and missed the spring because of injuries suffered in an auto accident, instead of the guy who started 7 SEC games last year?
In case Nuss fricks up and lays an egg against defenses with a pulse?

Backup QBs
Posted by midlandtiger on 7/21/25 at 10:51 am
If Nuss doesn’t live up to the expectations for this season and doesn’t play well the games that count, will BK sit him and bring Hurley in? Kelly is going all in for this season, so why would he be opposed to switching QBs if Nuss doesn’t perform well?

No amount of RB talent produces anything unless you have an OL that run-blocks well. The latter has been a major weakness in BK’s teams over the past 3 years.

I’m holding my breath on Nuss until he can actually perform well in a road game against a hostile environment and not piss his pants.

If Kelly can’t get to 10 wins with this roster, then he’s a trash coach. Plain and simple.

You’re setting yourself up for disappointment if you honestly think this offense will get anywhere near to being as good as the 2019 team.

After the last 3 season-openers, I think the media has good reason to overlook us.

No one would have gave a frick if both of them were average working-class folks. They would have never gone viral to begin with. Just goes to show that being wealthy is more likely to get you in the national spotlight when it comes to being in these kinds of situations. It sucks but that’s how our society is now.

None of the beaches in Texas with the exception of SPI are worth a shite. Go to 30A. Much more developed with more restaurants and attractions for kids if you have family.

Brad Davis has been a terrible run block coach for most of his career. JD5’s insane running abilities covered up for that in 22’ and 23. Once he left, the problems became more visible. Davis better step it up this year with run-block performance or GTFO.

Gold is a highly liquid asset, which is no one’s liability, carries no credit risk, and is scarce, historically preserving its value over time. It also benefits from diverse sources of demand: as an investment, a reserve asset, gold jewellery, and a technology component. These attributes mean gold can enhance a portfolio in three key ways: Delivering long-term returns Improving diversification Providing liquidity

Moreover, the shift towards a greater integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) objectives within investment strategies has important implications and we believe gold can play a role in supporting these. Gold – from established investment sources – should be recognised as an asset that is responsibly produced and delivered from a supply chain that adheres to high ESG standards. Gold also has a potential role to play in reducing investor exposure to climate-related risks.

He has a losing record to pretty much every coach who’s won a title. Saban, Smart, Swinney, etc. Time for him to change that.

Physical gold is a rare commodity that almost never loses its value. Even when it does, the difference is so minute that it would be hard to distinguish them apart.
Gold, Bitcoin, and crypto are the future. The US dollar will be no more.

Gold never loses its value unlike the dollar. I invested $500,000 in gold 10 years ago and it’s still holding up strong. Haven’t lost any money at all.

Bama went balls-to-the-walls this past offseason in recruiting. Same with UGA. I’d say LSU probably has somewhere between the 5th and 10th best roster nationally if we’re being honest.
