Hello all!

My sleeve surgery is scheduled for May 22nd and I am very nervous about getting sleeved. I'm nervous about the recovery, nervous about failing, nervous about the surgery itself. My surgeon's staff says it's the best decision I could have every made. Luckily, Aetna approved the surgery within 7 business days; lucky and not so lucky.

I am incredibly anxious and unable to stop thinking about my future surgery.

I already bought a heating pad and Gas X strips, and am searching for the perfect hospital clothes and stuffy (stuffed animal).

I'm so preoccupied with my surgery that I am finding it difficult to focus on anything else. I also stocked up on my Protein drinks!

Any guidance or advice would be most appreciated, meanwhile I will keep combing the forum.

Have a splendid day.

Remember your taste may change get samples to try after surgery follow your surgeon advice in diet smoking etc its fir youe benefit fir a safe surgery and great results gas xc s trips wont help with surgery gas walking moving around will get it out if your body practice sipping and eating 30 minutes apart. My nut had a great suggestions use infant silverware ti eat with. Hope it helps. I know you will be great

oh yes, i remember the change in taste buds from before. I only drink the premier Protein shakes in vanilla and chocolate; 30 grams of protein and one gram of sugar.

I'm willing to give Gas X a try because there have been favorable reviews. I also already have baby spoons i use and tiny little bowls.

many thanks for the advice...it's definitely a new adventure!
