JayDub619 got a reaction from nmr83 in What to bring to the hospital
In addition to what sbg224 said, also bring your own bar soap and wash cloth as that was helpful for my wife and we'll be doing the same for me next Monday when I go in. You will be doing a LOT of sitting around before-hand so bring a book or laptop with movies, something to keep you entertained while you wait.

Hi, I feel fantastic. So much better than I ever expected. I've been up and walking around, using my laptop and talking to the other patients. I've been catching up on Netflix as this clinic has private rooms and televisions with apps. I can even call back to the US for free.
I expected that it would be a trying physically and emotionally but it's nothing like that for me (so far). I received some xanax crushed up in apple juice before the surgery and had an iv put in with meds (painkiller, antibiotics, anti-nausea and an antacid) plus a blood thinner shot. Ten minutes later they took me to the operating area. I dozed off and when I woke back up didn't even realize that that the surgery was finished. I was told it took about 30 minutes for the procedure.
I'm feeling very fortunate and hope this feeling of wellness lasts.

I'm scheduled for May 2nd and I'm most nervous about the pre-op diet. My wife is getting her's on April 11th so I guess I'll get to see what it is like before I go in. My sister had her gastric sleeve done 2 years ago and she looks amazing; which is why I decided to get mine done.

I had my gastric sleeve one year ago in Tijuana. I felt well cared for. Would do it again. No complications. Only time I was scared was crossing a street because they all drive like maniacs lol. I am almost at goal weight. Started at 253 and currently 169. Goal is 160.
