How long after u met requirements did u have a date?
Mrs.FullerRN posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My insurance doesn't require pre approval and my requirements are all met as of today. How long until I get a date? I'm sure it varies but just looking for a roundabout answer. And how far out will surgery be? Weeks, months..? -
Unjury chicken soup protein in early post op days?
Mrs.FullerRN posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It seems like this would be a good way to get in fluids and protein in the early days. It seems like many people are having trouble getting enough fluids let alone protein. Seems like this would be a good way or am I missing something? -
How do you handle attention from the opposite sex now that you've been sleeved and are SUPER HOT?

I've only met my surgeon once for 5 minutes... normal?
Mrs.FullerRN replied to birdmadgirl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just quit smoking. You'll reduce your risk of dying from a blood clot in surgery. It's kind of a no brainer? -
I think you may have convinced me...
Mrs.FullerRN replied to Bombs's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There are many threads like this. There is one woman who hates her sleeve. One. Out of everyone on here. She hates it because she can no longer abuse food. It's a true mental issue. Everyone else says they would do it again x1000. Even those who had major complications. Good luck! -

In my preop class, we were told absolutely no recliner sitting as it puts you at risk for DVT's..however I see many people on here SLEEPING in the recliner. Yikes! Am I the only one who was told this?

From Overeating to Drinking All Meals?
Mrs.FullerRN replied to cmcrider's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also have felt like this is a cop out and like I'm a failure for not doing it the "right" way. Then I decided I'm only a failure if I let this excess weight control my life any longer. I'm only a failure if I know I can't do it on my own but still don't get any help. -
How long after surgery were u functional?

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? -
Me too. Every day I wake up so hopeful to get "the call". And go to bed sad cuz I didn't get it
-
Also..you aren't eating great or exercising. Why would you think you should be losing weight?
-
Nothing easier than squeezing some lemon and pepper on chicken breast or fish and throwing it in the oven. Add a side of steamed veggies. Boring but better than unhealthy

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! -
This is hilarious!

Mrs.FullerRN replied to Mrs.FullerRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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 -

Mrs.FullerRN replied to Mrs.FullerRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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. -

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 :/ -

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!
