GRWM Life - Chronic Illness - Surgery Update - Makeup Over 50

[@pamelamatheis5698]

My Dear Melissa, No one should have to go through all of the health mishaps that you have gone through. You are a Survivor and a True Inspiration to us all! Know that we are here for you through thick and thin!

[@katrinaball178]

Oh my goodness girl! You have been THROUGH it the past two years! Wow. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 for you lady! Glad to see you back!

[@beverlynelson599]

Amen sister! ❤

[@MrsMelissaM]

Thank you so much!!

[@kathysutter6968]

It's a dang shame insurance says what can and can't be done. And doctors are not the same as they used to be. I wish you and yours nothing but health and happiness ❤

[@mimihong4835]

Hey Melissa. I just wanted to tell you that I love you and your content. I may not always watch a video when it comes out but I do get around to it when I am not so busy. What drew me to your channel was that you were an over 50 influencer. What made me stay was you and your querkiness (is that what you called it). Added bonus was your little sayings at the end of your videos. I absolutely love them and look forward to each and every one. Just know that you are loved and very much appreciated. Don't care if you post one video a month. I am here for it and you!

[@MrsMelissaM]

This comment was so sweet! Thanks darling girl.

[@terriensberg5487]

What a terrible ordeal! My husband and I have found that medical bureaucracy is worse than disease. You look great and amazingly vibrant after all you’ve been through.

[@julieligon8177]

Oh Melissa... I will jump back into some very specific prayer for you & yours.... especially for the issues you mentioned regarding your son. My Mom (turns 93 in November) has been living with me for a little over 3 years. Fortunately her health is good & I'm so very grateful for that! My husband passed 5 months ago & I'm not sure what I would do without her! Melissa, you brighten my days through your videos. Please take care of yourself! Love you!

[@leannsmith6516]

Praying for you morning and night. Your true followers won't leave you. I've been here for years and have no plans to leave. I enjoy all your videos but I think I like the GRWM ones the most.

[@rachelweinstein9008]

Boy Melissa. I pray the worst is behind you. Praise God, “ you’re still standing”! I pray God’s blessing and care upon you, Melissa. God bless and keep you. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@remysplace]

Hopefully you will stay well and get stronger!!!

[@MrsMelissaM]

Thank you 💜

[@sharonmiller6797]

You are NOT “nothing” Melissa! You are amazing! I love how honest and down to earth you are in your videos. Keep doing what you are doing and the best to you and your family!

[@sayuriisme9728]

Gosh my lovely - I wouldn’t have even known you went through all this. God bless you and your whole family. You have been so amazing with continuing to bring us great content. And I must say - my heart goes out to you with the whole healthcare headache. It just shouldn’t be this hard to get the care we need. And you are absolutely correct, the pain response does cause the body to dump sugar into the bloodstream. I am a family nurse practitioner and I firmly believe in listening to both patients and their families. I’m so happy that you’re doing better and I pray that things get even better in the days to come!

[@kathymcmanus8284]

Oh, Melissa, I’m so glad to hear that you are doing better! I’ll always be in your audience, no matter what!

[@Alexandra0707]

Mrs Melissa! 🌹You are inspiring! Prayers 🙏🤲 for your health. Many blessings 🙏

[@mgromz]

Gallbladder pain is no joke. It’s exactly like you described it. I described it as feeling like the wind was knocked out of me. I’m so glad you didn’t have cancer and got the gallbladder out. I felt so much better when I got mine out. ❤❤

[@MrsMelissaM]

Thanks so much 😊

[@Glosmusicaljourney]

I am so glad that you are doing better. I've been here for a long time, as you know. I have chronic pain, so I can relate somewhat. I recommend your channel to everyone and have you listed as one of my favorites on my home page. I have gotten so many products that you have recommended and not one of them has failed me. I am thinking of you and praying for you to stay as healthy as possible. You have been a joy in my life.

[@lilybugslibrary]

It's awful you had to go through all of that, Melissa. Thank heavens your Gyn was so pro-active.

[@MrsMelissaM]

Thanks sweetie

[@aileenbacchus437]

You look gorgeous!!! Thank God for your wonderful husband ❤

[@karenjerread2098]

[@glendaruiz2477]

Thank you for sharing your story Melissa, i am going through something similar, with gallbladder problems, Ischemia blockage, alot of health problems, is not easy, i pray you and your entire family heals and send you many blessings, love the purple nails and you are very beautiful. 💜

[@joanneneal4346]

So glad you are on the mend!! I truly loving tuning into your channel and hearing what you have to share. I have learned so much from you!! May God continue to bless you and your family. Keep doing your buy this not that and your Amazon finds. I love those!

[@TheFlip_Side]

My 23 year-old was diagnosed with POTS when she was 14 years old. She thought she grew out of it, but learned she has not and knows when things are too much. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I’m glad you seem to be doing better and able to eat. So happy to see you back!

[@MrsMelissaM]

Thanks sweetie 😘

[@patiridge9906]

So glad you’re feeling better! You’re a real trooper! 😃

[@lindasteele6323]

You're such a beauty... and tough. I'm the one that had the rotted gallbladder... so many stones, had 2 surgeries in 2 days. Lost my one and only, my son, in 2012. Since, I have been diagnosed with 3 autoimmune diseases. Will not take all the drugs they want me to so it is rough. Enough of that... I'm 5'7", 145, that seems to help. I can tell if I gain a pound. You are an inspiration to so many and you are in my prayers. Btw thank you for your comment the other day. Prayers for you and family. ❤🙏

[@beverlydunfrund2519]

So glad you are finally feeling better! You look absolutely beautiful!❤❤❤

[@marianhall9126]

So glad you are better now. I dealt with gall bladder attacks for 19 years. I was scared of the surgery. Finally I got to the point where the pain never went away and I couldn't eat anything. I did the surgery and my gallbladder was like yours. It was so full of stones some as big as 8mm. I felt so much better afterwards. Glad to have you back.

[@mom57-54]

You have been through so much. So glad you are finally doing so much better. I don’t know how you kept making videos. God bless you. What a gift to have your Mom with you. It’s so hard when the docs won’t listen. God bless you.

[@amyrobinson928]

Beautiful lady inside and out. Praying for your son ❤

[@stephaniescofield9433]

Oh my gosh, Melissa I’m sorry for all you’ve gone through. Covid wrecked havoc on my body. Praying for you!

I'm so sorry for all you've been through! Thank God for all the small blessings along the way and a supportive husband. I declare your best days are ahead of you Melissa!! May God bless you above and beyond anything you can imagine! ((Hugs))

[@grandkidsrock]

Hi Melissa. I’m sorry for all your challenges. I had my gallbladder out and got gerd for years. Then I started using Ox Bile. I haven’t had reflux since. Do your research. It helps with digestion also. I started out with 125 mg an hr after eating. You’ll need to experiment to find the sweet spot. Hope this helps your hubby and you. Take care.❤

[@marnidillon8659]

So glad things have turned up for you.❤

[@latherandlace]

You are such a survivor and a warrior! I'm sure it's not easy to go through all of this. I can't believe how long I've been here. It was way before your weight loss surgery. I'm in love with your channel, and you make such great content. My bff is on GLP1 right now and has at least 150 pounds to lose. I know she's in for more hard roads ahead. Please keep taking care of yourself because so many love you ❤. Much love, Lori

[@judibeth6483]

Oh gosh Melissa! I’m so sorry for all you’ve been through. I have multiple medical issues and know how difficult it is. I hope things start looking better for you and your family soon. Sending you lots of love and hugs! 💖🙏

[@chriscaffey5685]

Wow. That was a lot!!! I am so glad you are better!! My mom lived with me for the last 6 years of her life. I am prouder of that time and the work that I did to keep her home than I am of anything I have ever done professionally. Caretaking is hard, but it is such a gift. Take this opportunity to talk with her. Get her stories on video. I did, and I am so grateful for those memories.

[@AlexaCosentino-n3t]

Oh dear Melissa, I am so sorry for all you have been through. But thank goodness you are feeling much better and the doctor’s figured it all out to get you well !! Its so nice to see you here and smiling always enjoy you all these years 🙏❤️🙏

I got my gallbladder removed last year after 1 day of massive pain. You are a Rockstar for being in that pain. I cried for days after the surgery. That pain is not for the weak. I'm now dealing with my blood pressure being high. I went to the doctor yesterday and got a lot of tests done. My prayers are for you and your son to be happy and healthy.

[@laurarivera1992]

Thank God you are doing better now.🙏. I hope your son can get the help he needs soon!

So sweet of you Deborah. Thank you 😊

[@stacymorris2570]

I am so glad you're finally feeling better!!You have a community of ladies pulling for you and praying for you. I’ve had my gallbladder removed, prior to that I had been sick with it for years without knowing!!! It was such a gradual thin, until I started having the contraction from the gallstones and of course that was unbearable! when I tell you the moment they woke me up from surgery, I felt like a new person. I immediately knew that I had been sick for years and had no idea, because I felt so amazing it was literally miraculous! I’ve had 28 surgeries and none of them gave me immediate relieve like that. I assisted in surgery and the gallbladder was such a common surgery, just as common as an appendectomy, and many many Said they felt the same way I did. The majority of people have zero issues after having their gallbladder removed. I think it’s pretty rare that you have complications very many complications. I continue to feel great. Yes I have heartburn, but I had heartburn before my gallbladder removal. My hope for you is that you have similar results and you continue just feel better and better.

[@MrsMelissaM]

This was such an encouraging comment Stacy. Thank you for telling your experience.

So sorry you have been through all this. Sending love and prayers your way ❤

[@sandragreenberg6010]

I’m so glad you had the gall bladder surgery! I had mine a year ago and I have never looked back! The debilitating pain was the worst of my life! The pain was gone one the gall bladder was out! My man is a type 1 and we’ve been together for a year. It’s all about the ups and downs for sure! How strong you must be to handle 3 Type 1 children! I’d love to see you do a video on one and done eye looks for mature women. A comparison of shadows, sticks and creams would be great! Perhaps the new Chanel eye sticks🤷‍♀️. Anyway, you look stunning! Glad your health is finally improving!❤

[@jcurry1125]

I'm also struggling with changes to my face after significant weight loss. I had a the sleeve done nearly three years ago. I'm glad the weight is gone but the changes to my face have been hard to cope with. You look great so keep doing what you're doing.

[@trinichandy3049]

Happy to see you Melissa. You have been through alot. Praying you continue to get better. Hope you son surgery come thru soon. God bless.
