Thanks

Ok guys. I'm an ER nurse at a large hospital that is also a Bariatric Center of Excellence. I also have a sleeve. I can tell you that in all of our Bariatric education that we have to do as a BCE the sleeve was never mentioned. ER nurses have to know a little bit about everyone at every age, we cannot know everything. I have always asked my patients about their condition if I'm not familiar with it (I don't always have the time right then to look it up) but as soon as I get a chance I educated myself. For those of you the have the unfortunate experience of needing an ER just tell them you had a partial gastrectomy and everyone will know what you are talking about. It's relatively the same thing. Ok. Off my soapbox rant. Sorry. ????

To track my measurements/inches?

I was sleeved on 2/27. Have slept on my left side since day 2. Still have staples on the right side. Don't really have any pain thank goodness. I am having a hard time getting 60oz of liquid in and 60grams of protein. Any ideas?

And I'm out the door. Ready to start this journey to a new life.

Ewwww

Glad I could help!

I just want to wear a single digit. Lol. Never have.

You should be able to switch to Pentasa, open the capsules and just take the medicine. Its taken 4 times a day( kind of a pain) but its not times released. We have had several patients do this for a variety of reasons. Ask your GI doc.

How did you make such a dramatic lifestyle change with the surgery? Did you work out like that before surgery? I haven't been sleeved yet and I'm trying to figure out how to make that change. BTW you look great!

Hope everything went well today. Thinking of you

Hi. I'm new to all this. I have my first appointment with Dr Lowe on Aug 15.
