I am 34 as well having my surgery on 12/23 2days away! Just got fully prepared today. Tips I've learned to prepare for surgery date:
Overnight bag:
ChapStick/lotion
Loose fitting clothing (I'm wearing medical scrubs found them for 4.99 a piece a few miles from my house.
Cell/tablet don't forget to pack your chargers!
Comfy slippers
Breath spray
Room spray in case you get gassy and don't want to be embarrassed when people come in your room
Favorite pillow. Great to put on your abdomen for your car ride home from the hospital!
Perhaps a loose light jacket/robe in case it gets cold
I've lost 15 pounds on a 14 day all liquid diet I chose trader joes vanilla soy Protein powder. Tastes great, kept me full low calories high protein and only 15.99 for a large quantity.
Congratulations on your approval!!! Statistically proven the more weight you loose before surgery the more weight you'll loose after surgery. So get busy!!! Your going to do great!!!
