I am a nurse in day surgery, I took off 2 weeks and was ok. I'm charge, so my situation is a little different. 3 months seems like a long time. Which surgery r u planning to have done?

You don't take the glue off, it will eventually start to come off itself, but no not pull it off! I was able to take shower the day after discharge. I had overnight stay in hospital. Your surgeon or nurse should have instructed you on discharge. You can always follow up with your MD office if you have questions about incision site & care.

I luv it! You look great!

Hello fellow May 9th Sleevers! I just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing. It's our 2 month anniversary of our new life style. It has truly and still a learning experience for me. I have struggled with my water intake, although I've hit my protein goals daily since day one. I have just now began to get water goals in, but its a daily struggle.

Congratulations!!!

I agree with everyone else, you appear to be dehydrated. Drink, drink, drink.

Congratulations! [emoji1433][emoji322]

I thought I remembered you posting that you were from Texas, so am I. I'm glad you contacted the your surgeon. I pray for healing. Keep us posted.

As a nurse all of these surgical incisions concern me. Wow, Nifty you put sutures in yourself? Please guys go to the doctor. #concerned

Chavon, May I ask where you had surgery? In the states?

That's awesome news!!! [emoji1433]

Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk & walk some more! [emoji16]

Ok, good. So you got a PICC line! Hope things continue to go well for you!

Did you have a fever initially when you first started having issues? If not, and your fever is still elevated and heart rate elevated, I will go to ER and they could/would contact your surgeon. How high is your heart rate? Although a fever will cause your heart rate to be higher. Did they do a EGD?

The hospital has them, no worries.

Showered the day after, never heard of having to turn back to shower water. I work day surgery and all our doctors say shower next day, pat dry, no scrubbing with Laparoscopic surgeries. No tub baths, swimming pools etc. We've never had issues but I guess each place is different.
