Congratulations!!! Are you having your surgery in the States? I don't know what you should bring if you are going out of the country? I brought slippers, a robe, chapstick, large panties (you are so swollen afterwards), a bra that did not have underwire, and a comfortable outfit to wear home.

I am pretty sure others will give you some other suggestions just in case I forgot something.

You will do fine tomorrow. They kept telling me but I didn't hear them because I was so scared...but being on the other side...the sleeved side is wonderful!!!!!

Something else you might like to pack is a heating pad. I found it very soothing on both my tummy and back throughout the process. Good luck!

Kind of scared but ready to go!!!! What should I bring with?

Hey girl,

I was thinking about you this morning. Good luck! Dr. Jay will take very good care of you. Make sure you have a small pillow to help you get up & down. Jodie, the nurse, will take excellent care of you for your overnight stay. She is the best nurse ever.

I can't wait to hear how things go!! Good luck & I'll be praying for you. See you on the loser side!! :001_rolleyes:

Motherof4 - I hope your surgery went well today. I am thinking of trying Dr. Jay. My appointment with the surgeon here is on Friday, but I am not sure how many sleeve surgeries he has done. I know he has done thousands of RNYs because everyone I know went to him.

Do you know how many VSGs Dr. Jay has done?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
