It is finally here! 1/2/13 is the day! I am prepared mentally for a rough couple of days, because I know everyday after that will be just a little bit better, and on the road to healthy and fit!

I am busy packing a bag tonight, and getting ready to shower with my special soap. Going to bed early tonight, because I have to be at the hospital by 6am.

Any last advice? Things I should bring to the hospital with me?

Good luck!! Best decision I have ever made!!

I just took comfy clothes to wear home and my cellphone charger so I could make sure to keep it charged. I used the notepad on my phone to write questions that I had for the doctors. Good luck. I have my 2 week post op checkup tomorrow

Good luck!!!! How exciting!!!

I took all the suggestions an had the gas x strips, SF Halls, listerine strips etc, etc... BUT, the only thing I ever took out of my bag was the chap-stick!! I'm sure if I had to do it all over again I'd still take everything just in case... But, don't forget the chapstick!! After surgery when your mouth & lips are so dry... oMG, such a relief!!

the best of luck for tomorrow, were all doing this with you xxx

Good luck!

Thank you everyone! And yes... I have the chapstick I will let you guys know how I am doing in a cpl days:.. see you on the other side!

Praying for you to have a speedy recovery.

I was just sleeved in 12/28 and the only things I actually took out of my bag was chapstic and gas-x strips

well fellow sleevers...early I'm on the other side. I feel amazing, no pain, just a little gas pain but nothing intolerable. I have already taken a stroll down the hallways, just ordered some broth and jello for dinner, and think I will take another little stroll when I'm done. thank you thank you for everybody support.

This is my first meal, 1oz of broth and 1oz of jellow.. so far going down just fine.
