When I was researching the sleeve. One of the coordinators sent me an email and it had an attachment for spanish to english. It was common phrases that are used in hospital having the gastric sleeve. I lost mine. Does anyone have it and can send it to me or post if on here. Thanks

This the only translation sheet I have it's the one they have at mi doctor hospital on top of their safe sorry for the bad pic but its laminated and if I took of the flash it was too dark.

Maybe some one can copy it onto word format so it's available to print out easier

I sure wish I'd had this in my room at MiDoctor. I looked for it but there wasn't one. Would be a very good idea to print this up and take it with you!

Just printed pic out...comes out good enough even with the flash mark. Thanks for posting this! Definitly going to make sure this is with me just in case...

glad to help, maybe one of the mods can make this pic a sticky here so that everyone can take a copy with them even if their not going to Mi Doctor Hospital, Im sure it will come in handy that one time that one of the nurses doesnt speak english

Thanks lexysdad. I haven't even had to use it yet. One of my nurses had it on her phone and only has to use it once. They have good enough English to. Take care of you. I'm at Florence and they have been taking very good care of me.

Hey Cindy!

Im just bumping this post because this translation sheet is very helpful.
