Has anyone had this problem?

I'm up 6.5 lbs since I went in the hospital from all the fluids they pumped in to me. Talk about a lot of fluid

I also had my surgery done on Monday and post op day 1 was the worst. Insane nausea. One day latter I'm fine.

Thought I would be more nervous... But I'm doing ok. Good luck to all who are having surgery today. God bless.

In tomorrow @ 745! Best wishes to you! And keep in touch

Oops, typo I'm on the 10th

I'm tomorrow too! I think the "pre-freak out" is normal. I'm a little anxious myself.

Two more days for the December 13th folks!!!

I'm am scheduled the 10th as well!

Best of luck! We are getting ready to brace ourselves here for hurricane sandy!

Honestly I have only seen one complication, and it was a leak. But she wasn't done at the hospital I work at. The hospital I work @ is a Bariatic center of excellence. They do about 100 surgeries a month.

I am signing into the hospital under a AKA. None of my colleges know I'm having it done!

Ugh i hear u, I am an NP and I am scheduled for the 10 of dec. I work in as a Hospitalist NP and having surgery at the hospital I work at. I am scared out of my mind as well! But, no guts no glory!
