Does anyone have any insights or experience about surgery and RH?
I’ve been added to the waiting list for a relatively major gynae operation. I mentioned my RH at preassessment and the nurse said they may want me to stay in overnight (apparently my surgeon thought there was a chance of doing the procedure keyhole and as daycase.... but it’s likely to be converted to open, which would mean not daycase anyway)
My concern was more over fluid management, and if they use sugar containing fluids could I react to those once they stop them? Just trying to be aware of possible issues so I can manage them when I come round (or discuss with the anaesthetist before the operation!)
Any other issues I should be aware of? I work in the hospital so I think I can manage the menu carbs and get hugher protein options... but I imagine recovery will try and feed me dreaded toast....
