I am having surgery on 9/25. I'm just ready to go and get it over with. What do you guys have ready at home for post op?

Haha can't imagine why? Told my 18 it old daughter that I was having a few doubts creep up every now and then and she was like mom mo you're having this surgery. Told her I wasn't changing my mind but this was a big deal! She's very excited for me!! My 15 yr old was like hey what if we can start wearing the same clothes!! I'm like your 6 inches shorter than me and weigh 100lbs don't think its gonna happen!! I'm so blessed that my girls and husband are 100% behind me!

Yeah me neither!!!! Lol.... ive been sooo positive n im gonna stay that way.... im gonna shake this n go n2 it with a positive attitude n come out with positive changes

Me too!! This is the most positive thing I've done for myself in years!!

Hello' date=' biotene mouth spray(sp) its for dry mouth and some other things with the mouth. It's in the area where the mouthwash is. I think you can find a pill crusher at cvs walgreens Walmart. I will look for the liquid tylonel Monday.[/quote']

FYI ask your doctor about the Jello. Mine said no way... Think about it . You can sit jello out and think about how long it takes to melt ... A long long time my doctor said its not good at first cause it just sits in your new lil tummy.

Biotin is a Vitamin. If you have not gotten a good chewable vitamin make sure it has biotin in it. It's for your hair. Barriatric supplements.. Pill crusher at Walgreens.

I will ask about jello I have never like it. But I will buy it just in case I like it after. As far as the dry mouth spray maybe I am spelling it wrong. In another post someone talked about it and I have seen it at Walmart going in a few minutes to pick up. I will come back on and let you know.

This is the biotene I mentioned earlier at Walmart.

Welcome. I just remember someone saying that you can't drink anything until later in the day or the next day this was a lifesaver. I'm doing fine of course nervous and anxious. I'm not a morning person but I plan to make it to hospital beer 530. At Walmart I bought more broth and got the vegetable broth haven't tried that one(low sodium)bc hbp. Going to Ross to pick up long lounger because that's what I will wear home no pants. I found a front close bra.

Thought a beer sounded good! Lol

I wasnt all morning because I was super busy but now that it is lunch time I'm a big time anxious. By this time tomorrow I will be in recovery. I keep reading this thread by a woman screen name Iggychic and she is going through some horrible complications. I understand that is the exception, not the rule but it still scares me. I so hope I am doing the right thing. If for any reason I have to out of work more than 25 days, I'm screwed because I dont have disability insurance and I only have 25 sick days saved up.

Went to Walgreens this morning. No spray, no liquid generic Tylenol but got gas ex strips. Yesterday got some tums. I know I'm going to be scared to death tomorrow. Last time I felt like this was the day i moved and it was the worst experience. Total feeling of impending doom.

Enough negative! I keep looking at before and after shots and can't wait to be an after! Down 20 lbs as of last night! Fat pants are a bit loose! Woo hoo! Anyone going to be on here tomorrow during recovery? I will be as soon as I am able.
