SliminDownThick

I've seen gas x strips and also told to ask nurse for an abdominal binder. Suppose to help with the moving as apposed to holding your pillow. Worth a shot anyways. Got the wonderful call to be at hospital at 5:30 am for a 7:15 surgery .. ugh! Plus I'm the first of the day .. not sure how to feel about that one lol

For the first time in my life, I just got full on broth and Water. I feel sloshy inside but it's not as unbearable as I imagined.
Does anyone have any tips/tricks for what to take to the hospital/for the stay? I read the general post and I'm planning on taking chapstick and a pillow to hold against me…. If you think of anything shout it out!
Praying for great news from our 27'ers today. Today is the first day of your new life Congrats!

I am sleeved!!! Surprisingly very little pain, thank god.

I wish everyone here had a spouse or partner who was as supportive as you. Thanks for taking the time to educate yourself! My husband has been awesome too, and I'm so blessed by it!

Good luck 27s! I hope you are able to sleep and all goes really well! IHOP asks sushi huh? Hmmm I think my last supper will include bread! :-)

My surgery is at 12:15 tomorrow. So excited and so nervous, if that makes sense. Trying to sleep, but I think that is going to be out of the ? tonight. I will post as soon as I can tomorrow. Prayers to all others having surgery tomorrow too. Talk to ya all soon:)

I just had my last meal, North Carolina pulled pork w vinegar nom nom on to liquids tomorrow

Yum! That last meal huh! :-) I've decided in IHOP. Lol. 3 days and counting!

Enjoyed my last sushi meal for a long while. Funny how much you love things when they to you can't have it. Bring on the liquids!

So very excited.

I'm also in PA. 2 days left, had a good cry and I'm ready to go! lol

That's great, we can definitely share some shopping tips and recovery stories!

Hi! I'm in the springs too but having surgery in Denver the 29th as well. So exciting.

STOP!

Ahhh, thanks! I exercise almost daily, usually martial arts, kickboxing or zumba.
My skin looks great wrapped in clothes, naked, not so much. I'm healthy, that's what matters.

I hear you all!! The closer Friday gets, the more nervous I get! Not gonna lie, I hope you you 27-29ers post in here after surgery and let us know how you are doing.
Trying to enjoy the last few days of food. I KNOW we will all eat again, and we will be able to eat anything we want, just in a smaller quantity. By the holidays, I bet most of us will be down 50-80lbs! Think on that everyone!

Hi all,
I have my sleeve surgery on May 28th as well. I actually having a LAP BAND TO SLEEVE. I am soo nervous and i hope my doctor can do it all in one shot.

Hi. Im sandi. Very excited. My surgery date is May 29th, New Jersey. I came down with a cold yesterday, I hope it will not postpone anything. Taking good care of myself before hand. No pre op liquids required by my doctor but I think I will anyway at least 3 days.
Good luck to everyone.

Me too! My insurance wouldn't even consider! I was going to do in the states but got a PM on FB from a friend stating she and some of her church members went to Mexico and are all doing great and half the price! I am going in two days all by myself. I have to admit being away from my kids will be the hardest part and praying that I make it back safely!!

I can definitely understand that! Welcome to the group
