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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
