No not really I went to my first Doctor appt late Jan and Iv already been approved for surgery for May.

Thanks...alot of people are telling me to take about 3 weeks off because we work hard.

Im a nurse so I have a busy job. I lift alot I work with babies so not really heavy but sometimes 9lbs. I was wondering if you guys think 2 weeks is enough to recop? Or should I request more?

Im a nurse. I work in a nicu so I work with small babies but still some babies are 8lbs or more and I was wondering how long I should request off. I know some people are good after a week. I was gonna do 2 weeks but im worried that wont be enough?

I know right!!! Tell me about it! All I can do is worry!! Researching as well but Iv researched so much already. Now Im just getting anxious. Wondering if I should really do this?

Awesome!!! Congrats!!! Are u feelin nervous? I am.

Any May sleevers out there?

Thank you so much! I need as much advice as I can get! [emoji8]

Thank you such great advice things I didn't even think of.

May 2nd here!

Thanknyou!!!!

Surgery date coming up soon just wanted to know what you guys brought to pre-op that helped you prepare for post op? Anything to help with gas? Pain? Etc.

I finally got my surgery date and im so nervous!!!!!!!!! May 2nd is the big day! Anyone else getting sleeved this day in south Fl? Has anyone been sleeved by Dr. Matei? Please let me know! Thank you!!!! Im super neevouse but super excited!!!! [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

Wow! Thank you for that reply. Im also starting to see a therapist. Its a constant battle for me now and Im scared how it will effect my sleeve and my wls success.

It is really hard for me to diet and I am afraid that after my Sleeve I wont be able to have good self control. I have a huge sweet tooth and I need to learn to control it but as a food addict I would like to know how the sleeve helped or challenged your addiction.

I live in south Florida but my vitamin D is still really low because I work inside. But im trying to bring it up taking vitamin D twice daily [emoji106] FutureFitGirl

My Vitamin D is 11.3 which is a Vitamin D deficiency. How will low Vitamin D effect me in the future once and I get my sleeve and will this make the process of getting approved longer? FutureFitGirl

Awww! Thank you so much@elisa_rose I will definitely keep in touch. [emoji106] FutureFitGirl

Wow! Thats so amazing! You are about the same weight as me Im CW:255 however im hoping to lose 100lbs. I know you just got started so congratulations. However, I have been having second thoughts because I was just so scared to go under the knife. I have never had any type of surgery before. But I want to do this for myself.@elisa_rose [emoji106] FutureFitGirl

Does anyone in south Fl have Dr. Emil Matei? FutureFitGirl
