Pre-op Appointment
Usually its blood work, EKG, health history, go over meds you are taking, what meds you need to take on the day of the surgery, where and when you report to, Consult with the anesthesiologist. That's what I had to do. Good luck

4 Things I Wish I Would've Known Pre Op
4) my mouth would forever taste like the north end of a pig going south. It's nasty. I admit to never being very good about brushing my teeth regularly but now it's twice a day because my mouth is so slimy and gross. SO GROSS!! That's so funny!!! LOL

CPAP or BPAP Machine for sleep apnea
I have had mine for 2 years now and I cant sleep without it. I have a full face mask, mouth breather. If I fall asleep on the couch for a couple of hrs without it I feel like crap when I wake up. I need it. I had no problems sleeping with it, I have found out if I put the hose over my headboard it doesn't get messed up or bother me at all. Yes it isn't sexy but it is now just part of life, it is exciting when the wife unbuckles it you know things are going to happen!! lol. I am hoping after the surgery and I loose the weight I will no longer need it, all though I'll need another one of those sleep tests. That is one of my goals.

Question
I was given a list of Vitamins and Protein shakes approved by my dr. I bought a supply of vitamins from Bariatric Advantage, I figure I will used these until I have healed then use regular vitamins you can buy at any store. I have read a lot of people just use them. As for Protein drinks I have Premier Protein, GNC, and carnation low sugar, all of these are approved and are great tasting.
