Sleeved Jan. 15th
I was revised from a band to a sleeve on Tuesday. I am on a nothing by mouth diet, with parenteral nutrition,and drain also. I also have a PICC line in place. My doctor is being very precautious. I am miserable. I go back to see him on January 28th, and don't know how I will make it. Has anyone dealt with these issues? I need to know all will come out okay in the long run.
I haven't dealt with your situation as I'm waiting for my VSG surgery next week. Sounds like you have a good physician who's anxious to see you get through this. The PICC line is the optimal way to administer the parenteral nutrition which you need to help sustain your nutritional needs. Keep that vision of how good you're going to feel in the end. Good luck.
