Does anyone in south Fl have Dr. Emil Matei? FutureFitGirl

2 Days post op and I can barely get any fluids or protein in. Im just worried it will be a problem. Any suggestions?

Thank you guys this is very hard for me.

Guys, Im about three weeks away from surgery. May 2nd is the big day and I'm starting to have a lot of anxiety. Starting to think maybe I shouldn't do this. This had been something that I have wanted for a long time. Im starting to read about complications which I already knew but now its really starting to hit me. Most patients have a high possibility of major complication in the first 30 days after surgery (thats what I read on one website). Im scared and thinking maybe I should just back out. However, im 28 years old. 5'4 260 and I have BMI of 44.5. So Im wondering if I do not do this will I ever lose weight? Will I always regret it? Will I wonder how my life would of been different? What if I do it and I have a serious complication? Will I regret having the procedure? Anyways please help calm my nerves guys. I need help. What have been some of your concerns?

Im a nurse. I work in a nicu so I work with small babies but still some babies are 8lbs or more and I was wondering how long I should request off. I know some people are good after a week. I was gonna do 2 weeks but im worried that wont be enough?

Hey guys I need to know what you guys brought with you to the hospital. I want to know every and anything doesn't matter if it sounds dumb. Thank you. My surgery is May 2nd and I just need a heads up![emoji8][emoji8][emoji8]

Thank you all for your responses so many great experiences here.

Thank you so much. I really needed to hear from someone who is also a nurse because as you know our shifts can be very hard. Thank you for your response.

Thank you so much for that advice. You are so right! Its only temporary. Good luck with your surgery!!!

Starting my Pre-op liquid diet soon. Any suggestions?

Awesome! Thank you. I hope I feel the same.

Ill focus on the positive I love shopping so I was so happy when you said that. Its like Im worrying so much I have forgotten about the good things that could happen. Thank you. I will have courage like you said cowgirl up!
