cindysc 108 Posted March 27, 2013 When I was researching the sleeve. One of the coordinators sent me an email and it had an attachment for spanish to english. It was common phrases that are used in hospital having the gastric sleeve. I lost mine. Does anyone have it and can send it to me or post if on here.

lexysdad04 43 Posted March 28, 2013 This the only translation sheet I have it's the one they have at Mi Doctor Hospital on top of their safe sorry for the bad pic but its laminated and if I took of the flash it was too dark. Maybe some one can copy it onto word format so it's available to print out easier Sent from my iPhone using VST 1 elenasal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cindysc 108 Posted March 30, 2013 Thanks lexysdad. I haven't even had to use it yet. One of my nurses had it on her phone and only has to use it once. They have good enough English to. Take care of you. I'm at florence and they have been taking very good care of me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeatherSchwartz 43 Posted March 23, 2014 I guess I got really lucky then because my husband speaks Spanish well although he is better at reading it. We've been practicing a little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
