I'm moving to Redmond Washington I'm 4 months post sleeve... I'll need a doctor to pick up my post surgery care. Can a few from your group share their doctors info or make a recommendation?

Surgery was yesterday about 3:00 Was in pain a bit till (dry heaving) about 8:00 when I crashed after a dose of pain meds - I was wore out! I Woke up about midnight- felt fine went a walk and came back to bed. Woke up again at 3:00 am wide awake so decided to update the group.

@ -- hi! How're you doing? Wanna give me some hope that the world will stop spinning soon? I have to say that it's been really helpful for me to remember your experience and know that everything is normal.
Thanks!
@@sprocket -- I'm not allowed to drink yet, but sucking on ice chips. And yes, better than yesterday, but still really dizzy. We are surgery twins!
So, PS, at least 50% of my nurses have been young dudes. I feel like I'm receiving medical care from Spain's soccer team!

Wowie! Ok, those first hours post-op were ROUGH. I am so impressed by my doctors and nurses, though. Considerate, kind, and very gentle. Wondering how Sprocket is doing in these wee hours. I'm up working out the gas. Hurts, but getting better.

Had surgery around 1 PM and it lasted about an hour. Went well, according to the doctor everything was as expected. Was nauseated when they brought me back to my room but they gave me some antinausea drugs and it's been good since. I've been walking a bit, but am incredibly dizzy so I have to use a walker.
Every time I get up the dizziness has been less and less. This morning (Saturday) is better than yesterday. It was a little easier to sit up by myself and get back in bed after. Pain is tolerable - the incision on the left has been the most painful when I'm moving about.
Drinking has been good. I've managed juice and Water so far. Makes my stomach gurgle.

I just got sleeved by him yesterday and everything went great. Just to give you a little piece of mind

Becca R., today I hope to pack. I'm more nervous about forgetting something. My friend who already had the surgery suggested taking a fan because it is warm in the hospital ( I am heat intolerant due to my fibro). She also suggested clothing that is loose around the middle so, I plan to take my long sundresses. She said that they get you up and walking within 24 hrs. And want to get you back in your own clothes so I'm packing plenty of comfortable night gowns to wear at the hospital and hotel. I think I read that our hotel has a heated pool. My husband and I may take advantage of that but I think we might be too tired. When it is your turn, be expecting confirmation emails with important names and phone numbers. So far I've been impressed with how organized time4achange people have been with the process.

Hello everyone. I am having my surgery November 22. I am starting to get nervous. I started with my pre-op diet early so I can ease myself into it.

#49: My pre-op diet is going well. I actually started it two weeks early and try to walk 1/2 mile every day. I've lost 13 pounds. My regiment from the Dr. is liquid diet 1day before surgery. Not sure I'll do that any earlier as it makes me weak and moody. Need to keep my strength for the long travels. Going from East coast to West coast. My typical day is Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch and salad with Protein for dinner. If I'm still hungry I'll do either a Protein Bar at bed time or a cup of hot tea with benefiber in it. I've also bought a food processor. Occasionally I'll mix fruit in with my vanilla Protein Drinks or mix Decaf coffee in with it and drink it over ice. I like variety.
