3pm is my time and i'm getting nervous.

i didn't sleep much last night and it's after midnight and i'm still up tonight.

i have to spend the night so i've already packed - too much i'm guessing lol

what do you bring for an over night in the clinic?

i know they'll have me up and walking so i'm bringing my comfy pj bottoms but will sleep in shorts

i'll be glad when it's all over and i'm bitching about the pain. at least i'll know that my new life has begun and i'm leaving my old life behind.:thumbup::thumbup::)

Good Luck!

I also spent the night in the hospital.

I didnt really bring much with me. I brought a pair of shorts to wear under my gown while I was walking around the hospital, and pajama pants to wear when i was going home.

I brought my toothbrish and toothpaste and a book to read, but I really didnt have time to read because of the walking, and when I was in bed, I was drifting in and out of sleep because of the morphine. I was literally taking a sip of Water, then falling asleep with the Water still in my mouth while spilling the rest of it down the front of me. That happened like 12 times.

Dont take any valuables with you. i brought my cell phone so that my mom could contact people to let them know how i did, but other than that, I didnt bring anything else.

Good Luck again!!!!!

you are right, it has been VERY hot here the past few weeks. What made you decide to come to Richmond?

originally it was the route my mil said they used to take when they drove to florida in the 70's to avoid the mountians in the winter but i don't think we were on the right route.

we thought we'd head over there and check out the route in the summer.

so we spent 4 days in richmond 2 in savannah and a week in disney world.

i think if we drive to florida in the winter we'll stick with our regular 77/79 route and just go straight down

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
