My surgeon never put in a catheter. He doesnt like to put them in.more of a risk of infection -
Surgery tomorrow so nervous can't sleep!
marmello replied to missy12's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think each place does things a little different. Before my surgery i was brought to the pre op room. Changed into a gown. Iv started. They put some teds on my legs and asked a million questions. I met with nurse,doctor,anesthesiologist. They gave me a shot in my belly to prevent blood clots. I said good bye to my family and brought to or room. They put oxygen on me then nighty night i went, woke up a few hours later. Nurses right by my side.in some pain but they were right there to help with that. -
