Roll Call Nurses Being Sleeved ...........
slim46 replied to TinkerToyz's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi, I went back to work on the 10th day. But since I had a hernia repair as well I was put on a weight restriction. There is no way u can do all that work, the bathing, repositioning and dealing with disoriented pts..after surgery u get tired real fast n with nursing u dont have time to drink like u should...If u have only 2weeks..ask the dr if he can put u on light duty for a couple of weeks? That's what I suggest... good luck! -
I have a special favor, my daughter Jenny went through all the required training, dieting n classes. Now we are just waiting to see if she qualifies for the sleeve! Thank you !

2 Months Out, Still Only 6 Lbs Down
slim46 replied to hrtgoeson's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
R u kidding? Did u have the Lapband or sleeve? I'm 14 days postoperative and have lost 22pounds. U need to allow time for the swelling to go down and allow ur body to heal...follow the diet they gave u.... I was told ..full liq from day 3-14..gatorade2, SF popsicles, SF jello, SF puddings, etc....then puréed diet from day 15-30 days.. Keep us updated n good luck! ! -
Just a lil FYI, I've been a nurse 33yr and we as nurses see a lot! We see the bad stuff n watch the healing process in action but we don't get to see the success out there. The gastric sleeve has not been out there 10yrs I don't believe. This is not my expertise...like with every surgery there are risks... If u don't feel comfortable then I would wait if I were u.. I was scared all the way till the put me to sleep. But after a couple of days n my progress I know I made the right decision... My health is important to me n I want to be around for my kids n grand kids.
