I am scheduled for surgery on Tuesday, May 21st and I will be returning to work the following Tuesday. My doctor said one week was enough time off since I have a desk job. I have read posts with people who have taken 6 weeks off, which I believe is extreme, but hey if they are still getting paid, more power to them!
I started my pre-op diet on May 7th, which consist of up to 5 protein shakes a day. 5 oz of lean protein and 2 cups of vegetables a day. I have lost 14 pounds! Surgery on Tuesday...
I have heard that the supplement Sheng Fa helps prevent hairloss as well as promotes hair growth. I know several people who took it after wls and had no hair loss.
Has anyone had surgery with Dr Nick? I am scheduled on May 21st (Tuesday) at Victory Medical in Plano...just wondering if anyone can give me some feedback about their experience. Pain after surgery? Does he require a cath during surgery? Does he come in to see us during our stay in the hospital? What have you experienced with his office (friendliness, how are they about returning calls, etc...) Any information would be helpful! I am getting so nervous, thinking of backing out!!!! Help!!
