Hello my fellow nurses and future nurses. I'm 24 and I've been an RN for about a year and a half..and I love it! I'm in the process of getting sleeved soon..possibly late april.I have my psych evaluation for insurance approval on Tuesday this week. I'm getting very nervous..because ofcourse I find myself reading all about the complications forum. Anyone from the south texas area? I hope I won't regret this life changing decision..

Hey I was sleeved on march 20; doing great; just hang in there it will come very quick; I live in Corpus Christi

Do any of my fellow nurses just want to have all our overweight patients know about the sleeve and how it can help them? Boy is it tough not to share. Linda

Hi my name is Larry and I'm a Registered Nurse in dialysis for the las 15 years. I'm actually having my surgery tomorrow at 7:30am. I was actually convinced to do the procedure after several of my patients had bypass to get on the transplant list. This will be my first hospitalization and surgery ever, no I'm a little nervous hut ready at the same time. My surgeon bases on my BMI on requires me to be NPO after midnight and hopefully just an overnight stay in the hospital. My pre-op consisted of upper GI, abdominal US, echocardiogram, EKG, CXR and about 11 tubes of blood. He said everything looked great so that's good. I will keep you posted.

I want to tell complete strangers that I see out in public about it. I am only 19 days post op so I will probably wait a little longer before I start talking about it.

How long was your hospital stay?

I had mine done in Mexico because my bmi wasn't high enough for insurance to pay. I had the surgery on a Wednesday night and left the hospital Friday at 1 pm in the afternoon. I then stayed in a hotel Friday night and flew home on Saturday. I was worried about post surgical complications since my Dr was located in Mexico. So far my only complication is a hematoma where the largest incision was.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
