I am so excited for next week. I am ready for this change! I would appreciate any suggestions as I prepare for the week ahead. I have a one year old daughter and a husband who is serving in the US Navy. I have a lot of protein shakes, gas x strips, comfy pants and shirts....trying to find a multi vitamin....anything else i need?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

A good water container to sip sip sip out of. Sounds like you are super prepared! Congrats !

Mine is also next Wednesday!!! I'm nervous and excited all at the same time. Where r u having yours? I was told by my Surgeon to also have a acid reflux med like Prevacid or Zantac. Also heard a lot of sleevers say to bring a firm pillow for your stomach for when you're getting in and out of bed. If you look through the threads there have been some posts that people have put up that lists a whole bunch of things to bring and not to bring.

My day is the 28th. I haven't got any comfy clothes (hoping i'll shrink into then out pf my old ones) but I was told to be sure to have calcium, b12, biotin, protein, gas relief and multivitamins, oh and a camelbak water bottle. So I've done all the above now i'm just waiting. No diet or fasting for me from my surgeon. I'm just enjoying my moments and reading to prepare myself! I wish you all the success expected and unexpected on your new lifestyle!!

Miaa-i too was told no need for preop diet, i am kinda doing my own to just make the transition a little easier. Good luck and thank you for the feedback!!
