Straying Off The Path Of Sleeve Success -
DO'S AND DON'T BEFORE AND AFTER SURGERY !!
I am an RN have worked as Pre- Op Bariatric Nurse, Bariatric Surgery Nurse, Post-Op Bariatric Nurse, Bariatric Floor, ICU, and E.R. Nurse. I am also a post Lap Band Bariatric patient. I will also be a Sleeve and Gallbladder patient on April 5th. I get many questions every day from all the people new to this forum and many don't even have instruction sheets from their surgeons, dietitians, etc...so from now on when I answer, I plan to do it here so people can get the answers they desperately are looking for.
