My friend I went to nursing school with got sleeved today. We have been going through this process together and she promised to text me as soon as she woke up. It's been 5 hours since she was going in. How soon were u able to make a call?

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!

Definitely prayers!! Will you let us know when you hear from her?

Hoping she just forgot her phone charger. Do let us know when you hear from her.

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.

The next day. I remember them waking me briefly and saying my family was there and I went right back to sleep.

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.

Have you heard from her?

Hey guys. She just texted me a few hours ago ( 2 1/2 days post op) and said "I'm alive, anesthesia kicked my ass, just woke up." That was all I've gotten out of her but the good news is she's alive. Thank u all for good thoughts!

Thank God! So happy to know she's well. That anesthesia is no joke.
