I had the sleeve gastrectomy and all the nurses were inpersonal, rude, esp my Nurse. She wouldn't check on me for hours. My drain was literally overflowing three times. She did not help me get out of bed, use the restroom or even walk. I would have to text the nurse station every 2 hours for pain meds, etc. She didn't take vitals? Or make sure I was comfortable which I was not, I was in so much pain and very alone. None of the nurses were working. They were sitting around gossiping. They ignored me everytime I pushed the nurse button that I had to go up to the desk and ask for help. I got my meds twice maybe 3 times while she was there. I was in so much pain she just told me oh it's gas deal with it.. She made me swallow each pill and than make me show her I swallowed it. Not once was I offered any gas pill just had a 5 mg oxy. And she would not let me take my own meds. It's pretty bad when my family noticed all of this while they visited. Talk about Embarrassed!!
