Surgery Scheduled For November 19!

[nursemeg89 185]

Hi all!

I just found out yesterday that my insurance has approved my sleeve gastrectomy for this November 19. I wanted to share my excitement and readiness. I am a RN at the hospital that I will be having surgery at, which made this decision easier for me. I trust and respect my surgeon because I've worked with him countless times to take care of his post-op patients on my floor. We don't care for his immediate post-op bariatric patients on my floor, but ive cared for many of his other surgery cases. Its very comforting to know the hospital staff that will be taking care of me post-operatively. Basically, I CAN'T WAIT!! I wish everyone the best of luck

Doctor says 5 days prior but will likely start 1 week prior.

Lucky! I start mine on 11/6.

[tmartinx4 13]

My doc only makes you do a liquid diet 24 hrs prior, then nothing after midnight the day of surgery.
