types with one finger
hi all, i want all you pre-opers to know that what happened to me is unusual, and all three things happening to the one person has never been heard of in this hospital.
i arrived at L&D at 5.30am tue 16 feb. i was in arrivals lounge at 6.00am. got out my mags and settled down for the long wait. 6.15am was called in to be weighed/bp/hight ect:- i was over the moon wieght was down to 17st 9lbs, everything else was fine exept he had to have 4 go's to find a vain to take blood (not unusual for me). put on my gown and sox and took straight to another waiting room it was about 7.30am, got mags out again.
8.15am called in to meet my anaesthetist, who layed me on the table to be put under then and there, but again couldn't find a vain to put in the canular, i explained this had just happened when blood was took, he jokingly said "operation canselled can't find vain" thats all i can remember untill i came round.
i don't know what the time was but they said they were taking me to HDU, slept the rest of the day and night.
wed morning now, some pain but not as bad as i had expected. Mr Date came to see me and explained i had a very fatty liver (even after sticking to milk diet (honestly)) and an elongated stomach, he still did the sleeve op and said i should still loose a bit of weight (i never questioned this as i was still half asleep) but i did ask where my button was for the morphine, he said i couldn't have one because i had heart flutters while under anaestetic.
i was put onto a normal ward thur night. they had trouble with my ox levs and couldn't bring it up to what it needed to be to go home, they must have gave up in the end because i was home about 7.00pm fri night just in time for eastenders with the biggest bag of drugs i have ever seen.
i weighed myself this morning and unbelievably weighed 18st, so i have put on 5lbs while in hospital, apart from that everything is ok now and i have had soup/tea/coffee and ice cream so far

Sorry to hear that you had a couple of hiccups whilst in, i never have any veins either so thats always a problem. Weight gain usually happens and will go in a week
