Question:
BTC, Groveport, Ohio, Dr. Choban. What Post- Op orders does she have?

Will I have an NG tube, Foley catheter? Just curious. She said that my surgery is considered a revision, even though it was more than 20 years ago. I know as a revision, I was told some things are different. Thanks for any and all input.!    — Kristee (posted on September 22, 2002)

I had my surgery done at BTC on 7/31. However, I have two different circumstances: Dr. Choban didn't do my surgery and I just had open RNY. It would seem to me all the dr's would use the same procedures with their surgeries. However, I didn't have any type of NG tube. The only drain I had was at the bottom of my incision. I didn't have any type of catheter put in until post-op. During surgery, I did not have one. Since I could not go to the bathroom in the given amount of time (I think it was 8 hours), they did put a cath in and leave it until the next day. Hope this provides a little information...Tiffany =)
