Gown and socks on 1/2 hr to show time. Can you believe the gown i have on has an air hose attached to it to keep you warm?

Yeah, it's called a Bair Hugger gown. I heard a nurse created it, she was probably tired of going to get warm blankets for the patients. I know how she felt. Most hospitals have them now, since regulating temp decreases risk of infection and helps keep pain under control. Congratulations on your big day, and I wish you a speedy recovery!

Hello to my sibling October sleevers! Wow how our family has grown. Im on day 6 of 10 day pre-op and its so true the first 3-4 days are the hardest. As of this morning Im down 7 lbs. Im so excited and scared at the same time...just ready for it to be behind me. We are having friends over to watch the football game Sunday...should be interesting for me because i have to drink the bottle of magnesium and then all Clear Liquids (no more Protein shakes). Hmm i wonder how much of the game i will actually see? Maybe i should install a tv in my bathroom!!!! Lol Monday will be here before i know it! Im so glad to hear from the others sleeved this week! Glad yall made it through ok (-:

Hi Octosleevers, yesterday was a ruff day. My BP was up. I do not have a BP problem. It was my body's reaction to the pain. I am much better on day 3 than day 2. Going home today!

Good luck to all those being sleeved today.

Hi everybody. I was sleeved on Monday, first thing in the morning. Monday afternoon was rough, a lot if gas pain. Yesterday was better, although a lot of nausea. Today they're letting me drink water....about 6 oz every two hours. So far so good! Good luck to all of you!

You're with Dr. Heider there? That's pretty cool! My pre-op with Dr.H is on the 12th at 11:30 at LNRMC. What time is your surgery that day?

"CLTgir"l & "my time" are Dr.H's patients as well!
