And I am nervous, super excited, but nervous. Can't seem to focus on things- like what do I pack? What if something happens? Will this actually work? And I am hungry (liquids only today)

And... Why am I gasy today? Is that going to be bad for tmrw? Caffeine headaches?

Ughhh

Just breath, you will be fine. Only thing you need is a robe, socks, gas-x. I was starving when I went in, but I"m never hungry now and it's liberating. Good luck and just keep your eye on the prize!

Congratulations and good luck!

I'm having my sleeve tomorrow too at 9 am. So nervous and exited. Good luck and keep posting. It'll be nice to follow someone else who's going on the same day I am.

Good luck to both of you!! Hoping I won't be far behind you!

Jenny- good luck to you!

My son and I are on for tomorrow, too!

How is everyone?

Doing great here! Just went on second walk outside today

I brought comfy clothes like sweat pants & t-shirts and honestly I was so happy to change into them on day 2. I brought gas-x and a heating pad for the gas pain- the heating pad worked better. Toiletries such as toothbrush, deodorant, chapstick (the hospital also provided these). I also brought my iphone and ear buds. I had my ipad too but the phone was easier to hold. The ear buds were great because I was in a double room. When I wasn't sleeping I was bored so spent a lot of time online - bring something to keep you busy. I brought my own towel because the tiny little hand towels that they give you to shower don't even start to work . Lastly make sure you have your insurance card on you so that you can easily pick up any RX that you leave with!

I always overpack but I think it is so much more relaxing to know that you have what you need!

Don't forget chapstick! My Dr. gave me a list and I brought everything but the chapstick. I had to call to have someone bring me some!

Wow! Thanks for all the tips! My surgery is Jan 16th. I have 11 lbs to lose. Started all liquid today - think this next two weeks is going to be hell! I'm so excited to be healthy again and comfortable not just in my own skin but doing things I have struggled with for so many years. Can't wait to coach softball and run with the kids this June! Im hopeful the weight I lose will help my horrible knees and back pain. Goal weight 135 here I come!! I hope the hungry feeling gets better this week- I want a cracker!! The end result will be worth it I'm certain, I think I want to eat right now because I'm sort of scared.
