Hello All! I’m new to the group and my surgery is scheduled for January 25th, 2023.

I just got home today from my 1/17 sleeve surgery. How’s your preOp diet going?

I had my sleeve on 1/17. Lots of gas but if I get up and walk I seem to feel more relief and I’ve been trying to drink 4 ounces of Water per hour so that I can head home from hospital.

Just confirmed my VSG surgery for Jan 17th. I started the process to get ready for this day since last July.

Here is my basic list of supplies post-op surgery that I have pulled together from different folks:

• Thermometer
• Oxygen pulse oximeter
• Pain meds
• Amit nausea meds and alcohol swabs/pads
• Gasx
• Puffer for acid reflux
• Protein shake
• Protein Water - find measuring cups for 2oz
• Miralax with water premixed
• Patch aids - Multivitamins with Iron, Biotin, Vitamin D3, b12+
• Throat lozenges
• Gastric sleeve notebook logging amount of drinking
• Nioxin Shampoo or tail and mane shampoo with horse on front
• Dissolvable Tylenol

My doctor is targeting Jan 2023. Don’t have an exact date yet, but would love to be part of surgery buddies for 2023.
