Can you call a family member?

I messages her husband on Facebook but no response. We weren't even really friends until about 3 months ago when our journeys began, so I don't know her family :/

This seems scary to me. I hope she's ok. I can't remember how I was feeling at 36 hours after surgery, but it could just be nausea and pain are keeping her from texting.

I'm scared for her. I really expected a text by now or to see her active on fb. I know my post op patients are up and walking around shortly after surgery, so to not even be able to send a quick message is really freaking me out. Please send prayers, good juju or whatever. I'm scared for her!

I was able to call my family about 12 pm and I was done at 8 am. Maybe she having pain issues and just has not been up to texting/FB. Call her if ou can and see. Better then worrying and as RNs we have a bigger imagination on what can go wrong!

Ill let you guys know. I'm sure I'm overreacting and she's fine, but like a previous poster said, as an RN my mind automatically goes through a list of complications most people wouldn't consider..stroke, PE, too much blood loss..ahhh I'm driving myself nuts.

Have had her in prayer since yesterday. Stay positive keep the energy flowing. Keep us posted for our sleeve sister. I would still try to call the hospital and just ask if she's ok. I know about the HIPPA laws but sometimes you get an understanding nurse who will give you that much.

She's an employee of the hospital and she's protected, meaning if someone calls to ask if she's there, they have to say no :(

Wow. I'm so sorry. This is so stressing. Well let's just pray that she's really out of it. Tomorrow she'll reach out.

It's been 36 hours since surgery and still no contact. She hasn't been on Facebook. She works at the hospital so she's automatically a protected patient. I'm panicking!

I didn't call anyone for a few days I had my family text my friends and other family members for me. I just had no desire to charge my phone to call anyone or anything.

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
