March Sleevers!

:) Hi everyone,

I have received my surgery date, all approved for one procedure! Converting from band to sleeve on March 18! I am very excited and NERVOUS! Any others in the same boat? I am nervous about drains, heparin shots etc. I didnt have any of that with the band.

Looking for some advice and insight! If you've been coverted already, please let me know your success, problems, fears!

Thanks

Jen

      Thanks for the advice. That's good to know others didn't have a pre op diet. I had thought it was odd not to have one. I know I am going to be sooo tired of liquids come a few days after surgery :-) s

    Back in the hospital again since March 29th. Didn't feel good at all...my potassium , blood pressure, an I was dehydrated.my heart rate went out of control. I'm feeling so much better now since I'm in the hospital. I'm trying to get my liquids down better. Please keep praying good things for me. Special thanks to Saint Thomas Midtown hospital in Nashville .TN an Dr. CHARLES MORTON III.

    Kay I'm so sorry your back in the hospital, I loved my hospital & staff & I think there is some comfort when we know we're being taken care of. Keep walking!

    Hubby was my nurse, although he tried, he's not a substitute for a real health professional.
