I went to Dr. Lana Nelson, her office is in Norman, OK. There is another doctor associated with the group Dr. Keith, I believe? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone! I'm looking for people in OK around my age who have or are going to have the gastric sleeve procedure. I'm 23 years old, 5' 11'' 300 pounds at surgery date on 4/27. I'd love to find some support here in Oklahoma! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone! I had the gastric sleeve done in OK on 4/27! I'm 23, 5' 11" and 300 lbs. I was definitely not as prepared as I should of been, but everything has been going okay. Three days of liquid diet, then had surgery on the 27th. Woke up to news that they removed my gallbladder AND repaired a hiatal hernia too. Stayed one night and walked the halls a couple of times, the morphine made me immediately nauseous, so tried liquid hydrocodone, same result. Asked to be released from the hospital after proving I could hold liquids down and they said yes! Lots of pain the first two days with standing and laying down. But it has faded by today, thankfully. Plan is: two weeks of full liquid, two weeks of puréed, two weeks of soft, then two weeks of solids. Goal is 65 g of Protein. I'm keeping down two Water bottles of crystal light with a scoop of Protein powder each. And then a protein mixed drink from Bariatric Advantage. Maybe a sugar free Popsicle if I really need one. TIPS: Bring Biotene Spray for after surgery. I swear using it during the blue ice test after surgery will be a life savor. Also if they give you a wrap after surgery, bring it home. I wear it every day. It helps SO much. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
