Yay! I’m excited for you! You’re going to love it! I’m 6 months post op and would be happy to share my experience if you have any questions. I used Dr. Metz at Rose but I think most of the programs are similar.

The only pain I had was from my incision and it took about 2.5 weeks before I was pain free. I had planned on going back to work at 2 weeks but ended up extending an extra week.

Make sure you’ve eaten something before you take your vitamins. I only made the mistake of taking them on an empty stomach once (about 2 weeks out) and dry heaved so hard. It was so painful with my incision! I also had quite a bit of dizziness a couple weeks out and had only been drinking water. I added in Powerade Zero and it made a huge difference. Electrolytes!! Hope you’re starting to feel better.

I was just sleeved on 7/18 at Rose with Dr. Metz. He has been awesome! I was also super impressed with all the staff at Rose. They have a great support program for before and after. Good luck!
