It's getting real now
I am reading through these posts.....this one certainly has a lot of them! I am scheduled for revision from band to DS on 1/24... So I am right with you guys:) just want to put it out there... Just remember a lot of chapsticks have petroleum which is a no no if you are going to be a patient with oxygen needs. As an RN, we have to tell families to bring that stuff back home....and make sure your doc and nurses know if you bring your home meds and vitamins....usually the fits are no problem....especially the bariatric ones. The other OTC ones and prescriptions are another no no to bring...that will all be apart of your med list in the hospital your doc will already have for you. My suggestion is....talk to your doc and nurses during pre op appt.
