Maybe I will get to meet you Monday. I'm an RN in the Surgical Assessment Clinic at Flowers. I probably will get to meet everybody on this thread. I had hoped to have my procedure on the 1st as well but I don't know if I can work it out with my job. We are already short handed. I plan to vigorously plead my case! Nurses aren't supposed to be sick or need surgery!

I just found out that we have to take B12 injections post surgery! I'm extremely nervous around needles - stems from childhood trauma - anyone know how often we take those?

We get your health history for the team of doctors and anesthetists who will be putting you to sleep for surgery. When you come in for surgery you actually undergo two procedures: surgery AND anesthesia so we need to make sure there are no hidden factors involved that might make anesthesia unsafe for you. When you come in, a nurse or technician will get your vital signs and then a nurse will get a detailed history (including some questions that make you go...huh?). You will sign your consents and we will do some lab work and testing, including a urine nicotine level, so don't pee before you get called back! You will see the actual anesthetists or anesthesia MD on the day of surgery after we have a chance to review your lab and testing results to make sure all is well, and the vast majority of times it will be. We bariatric patients will already have been through the medical mill before we ever get to surgical assessment. Every facility is a little different but that's how we do it at Flowers.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
