Surgery tues! Anyone have complications?

[jillw8 22]

My surgery is on Tuesday! I'm so excited. As it draws closer I'm just curious how common complications really are. Anyone on here have any problems at any time after the surgery? I know all of the possible issues, I am a nurse. I am young (27) so I know I am not a high risk but just wondering about the "what Ifs." Not scAred just curious! Thanks!

My surgery is on Tuesday, as well! I am excited, but scared and nervous at the same time. I have been wanting this for so long, and now that it's finally here I am starting to freak out a little bit. I was sold on getting the band and never thought I would consider anything different until my nutritionist appt 3 weeks ago. She changed my mind, and now I am getting the sleeve. The band was so appealing because I knew I could have it removed and adjusted as needed. Well, the sleeve isn't either one of those, but I feel better with this surgery choice. I am 42 with 2 children, ages 13 and 5, and I have a wonderful husband. I would like to lose about 100 lbs. I look forward to seeing your updates and walking this journey alongside you. I will be praying for you on Tuesday!!

Hi I was sleeved 3 weeks ago Tuesday! I'm a nurse too. I'm thrilled with the results and quick recovery. I just turned 28. I'm already eating 3 tablespoons of lots of yummy things like egg salad, tofu, baby bell cheese, and really feel satisfied! Im drinking a lot of milk too. I went back go work 6 days post op too our age is on our side! good luck i'm excited for you!

Thanks, ladies!

BlessednGA....same day! I will let you know how it goes and you do the same!

Nurselisa22....good for you! I can't believe you went back so soon! I have 6 weeks of leave time....not sure how much I will take off! What kind of nursing do you do? I work in a hospital on a step-down unit with a cardiac focus. I love being a Nurse and just finished NP classes ad graduate in December! Good luck with the rest of your journey!

I'm a Lpn at a family practice so it's very light nursing. I will be a RN in December. Congrats on the NP! That's my ultimate goal we'll see I'm not a school fan!
