I'm not trying to be a drama queen. But seriously this is my first time having surgery and I don't know what to expect! All I've been told before surgery is that it will be fine and painless. Anyways, thank you so much for your comments! Really appreciated! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm Doing fine I guess apart form the incisions pain especially every time I get up and sit down. They just told me that they will discharge me today and I need to go to the clinic to buy the injections for blood clots and antibiotics. I told them I thought this is included and they said no. I told them I already spent so much, more than the price I was expecting! and if I needed to pay now I will have to ask my friends to transfer money. I'm going to the hotel tonight and will spend the night there. Let's hope I manage by my own. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

They told me the doctor is not here. He just comes here to perform surgery then leaves so I'll be seeing another doctor. Anaesthetic doctor. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have not been giving anything to eat. Only sips of Water. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's hard to sleep with a drain and bottle of blood hanging from you. Yesterday I accidentally pushed hard on it while sleeping so blood was all over my bed. They told me doctor will be here in an hour or two. I already texted my patient coordinator. I have another question: I'm used to sleep on my right side, however, after surgery the only position that's comfortable is on my back. Was it the same with you? If I sleep on my side I can feel some pain from my incisions. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Did you guys have a bottle hanging from your stomach to collect blood that you're bleeding? I don't know what is it for. I haven't seen the doctor and nurses don't speak English. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You guys all tests were done okay and I was laughing all day then came the camera test and I couldn't do it then I started crying and I wanted my friends or fam with my and I couldn't do it so the doctor said I get anaesthesia so they give me one and then I don't know what happened! I just woke up in a different room and everything! Ughhhh and still dizzy but a consultation is left Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Arrived in Germany today and now in Poland at the clinic doing a million test and still not done. Been awake for 26 hours now with no Water and food. Awesome. And to top that awesomeness. Santander decided not to accept my transaction of paying the clinic. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Did anyone else take some makeup with them? Im staying there 5 days and I figured why not look good so I can feel better about myself! Plus, I only took the basics: foundation - concealer - powder - lipstick - bronzer - mascara and my brow shadow which can I also use as an eyeshadow! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks, JJCool! I'll check them out Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for all the love and encouragement, Rosie! I'll update you Saturday hopefully! :-) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ahhh Rosie that sounds great! Hopefully with my clinic in Poland it will be the same! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

JJCool Thank you so much! Rosie Ya I'll probably just be sleeping all day and can barely drink! I was just worried, I wanna make sure I covered everything since I'm going alone... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Do you guys know when I get out of the hospital and to the hotel, I'll stay there 3 days. How am I gonna eat/drink? Like do I need to go to a supermarket and buy liquid juices and stuff? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks, Rosie! I'll keep that in mind! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I will sure. They asked me to go on a liquid diet and stared yesterday and was welcomed with a headache :-) Living on smoothies, juices and Soups this week. But I need to buy Protein powder to add to my smoothies. I'm kind of scared because I'm going alone but also I CANT WAIT TO BE SLEEVED! I'm also scared like from any pain or nausea and needles...ugh...all worth it in the end... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Rosie Congrats for doing it all! It wasn't easy I'm sure. Don't stress about your weight. The weight might come off a lot so easily the next coming months. You did so many positive changes to your life and health and that is great. Stay stress free and enjoy the journey! :-) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Rosie When did you start taking them after surgery? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Amazing transformation ???? well done both of you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Umm I think if your weight is still the same after 6 weeks you should make a drastic change either in your diet or workout. Hope all goes well with u! And you lose it fast! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I did try that a long time ago, Rosie :-p Believe me, I tried every single thing! Anyways, you too go out and enjoy the beautiful weather and sun! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I gave her passport size photos. The same as I gave the Belgium embassy and they accepted, and the same as when I came here for my visa, and the same for my passport now, and the same as my friends did get their visa, and everyone else and she was like "no. This is not a passport size photo!" And I repeatedly told her that it is indeed but she refused to take it! Other reason, I printed the travel insurance with the receipt + terms and conditions + policy scheduled as all is required by the Czech embassy and other Schengen areas as my friends also did and got their visa. But then she said "There is another 42 policy page that you should have printed!" And I told her I printed everything required and showed her the requirements but she was like "nooo nooo nooo!" The third reason was kind of my mistake. The visa form for all Schengen areas is the same. Only in tiny writing it says which country the form belongs to and I mistakenly filled the Belgium form! Ahhhh! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Hope everyone is doing great. For me, I went to my appointment today and the lady rejected my papers lol. All my friends got a visa and we all had our papers together yet I get rejected for the silliest reasons! Every time I go there, somehow something seems wrong. This is the 4th time for me trying and every time I loose the money for flights. God is trying to tell me to diet and abandon the idea of having a sleeve surgery? I don't know. So I decided: instead of feeling upset and depressed that I should try my best and commit to diet and working out. Maybe when I'm back in September, I'll have the surgery in my country who knows!
