Thank you guys this is very hard for me.

2 Days post op and I can barely get any fluids or protein in. Im just worried it will be a problem. Any suggestions?

Hey guys I need to know what you guys brought with you to the hospital. I want to know every and anything doesn't matter if it sounds dumb. Thank you. My surgery is May 2nd and I just need a heads up![emoji8][emoji8][emoji8]

Thank you all for your responses so many great experiences here.

Thank you so much. I really needed to hear from someone who is also a nurse because as you know our shifts can be very hard. Thank you for your response.

Thank you so much for that advice. You are so right! Its only temporary. Good luck with your surgery!!!

Awesome! Thank you. I hope I feel the same.

Thank you.

My surgery is May 2nd

Starting my Pre-op liquid diet soon. Any suggestions?

Thank you very much. I will try to focus more on the positive and not the negative.

Yes Thank you so much!!!! Im May2nd so we can keep in touch. Do u have instagram? Im vsg_melissaadriana

Thank you your so right. This feels right to me so im just gonna listen to my inner voice. Give it all up to God and lean on him for strength. Ill focus on the positive I love shopping so I was so happy when you said that. Its like Im worrying so much I have forgotten about the good things that could happen. Thank you. I will have courage like you said cowgirl up!

Guys, Im about three weeks away from surgery. May 2nd is the big day and I'm starting to have a lot of anxiety. Starting to think maybe I shouldn't do this. This had been something that I have wanted for a long time. Im starting to read about complications which I already knew but now its really starting to hit me. Most patients have a high possibility of major complication in the first 30 days after surgery (thats what I read on one website). Im scared and thinking maybe I should just back out. However, im 28 years old. 5'4 260 and I have BMI of 44.5. So Im wondering if I do not do this will I ever lose weight? Will I always regret it? Will I wonder how my life would of been different? What if I do it and I have a serious complication? Will I regret having the procedure? Anyways please help calm my nerves guys. I need help. What have been some of your concerns?

Thank you very much. I never even thought of bringing an extwnsion cord or pillow thank you for the advice im trying to make a list of everything to bring.

Thank you very much. I live in sunrise. Thank you for answering my questions. The doctor that im doing my sleeve with Dr. Matei works for Memorial Healthcare and I heard he is really good. So im gonna stick with him but thank you.

That is true thank you very much Debbie.

Thank you. Im doing 2 weeks as well. Just hope that is enough I work on a busy unit.

Any sleever in south fl get your Sleeve done by Fr. Emil Matei? If so how was your surgery experience and results?

Lol okay. Thank you. But you did keloid a little?

I know most of you guys may be too fresh pot op to know but I was wondering if anyone Keloid after wls? How did your scars heal? I know everyone is different just curious.

Awww! Thank you! That is so sweet! Well I live what I do! Helping babies is my passion! [emoji8]

Thank you very much for your reply. My surgery is May 2nd. I work three days a week but I work 12hr shifts and very fast paced. Sometimes we dont even have time to drink water. I I lift alot, sometimes 10lb babies. My job is very active sometimes we dont even get lunch so im just worried how will I get protein and fluids as well. Let me know how your pot op recovery goes.

No I would have to request now either way two or three weeks so they can have sufficient staffing if im out. I dont wanna be out too long but I also dont wanna come back not feeling up to work so hard I spend 12hrs a day on my feet.

Thank you. Thats what im taking now.
