kwindham 57 Posted January 10, 2013 Anyone know of a nurse I can hire for a couple days post op in TJ? Where do I look for one, etc? I do not want to stay in a recovery house, I don't like hospitals, and I just like to be left alone for the most part after surgeries. Although Im not going alone, I think it will be better if I hire a nurse for the first couple days until my companion and I are comfortable with drains, moving, etc. Any suggestions?

COnative 192 Posted January 10, 2013 Your coordinator should be able to help you out or ask your surgeon directly. Good Luck- I have never heard of this before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicolanz 1,484 Posted January 10, 2013 I stayed in a hotel and the nurses were there 24 hrs. They only came in to give antibiotics and change dressings. Who is doing your surgery? I don't think hiring a nurse would be necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kwindham 57 Posted January 10, 2013 I'm using Dr Fuentes at cosmed. I'm really really nervous. I emailed the patient coordinator this morning but haven't heard back yet. I've never had drains, even with vsg, plus I'm really scared of how painful this is going to be! Any advice or tips are appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
