[cheeze82 59]

Well we are just 2 days away! Any comments, anything that I need to know, any support would be awesome! Getting worried,scared,nervous. Still worried about the after and all the Vitamins and such. Just so much to know about vitamins and the food that we can eat after

You'll do great. You will be in the hands of pros!

RELAX and enjoy the ride! They will tell you what you need to do in YOUR program. You might consider the Big Book of the Gastric Sleeve as a helper.

HAVE FUN (yes, I said fun). Take your pain meds :-) AND walk, walk, walk.

Try not to worry.

I was so looking forward to when they put me out so I could sleep as I worked 12 hr shifts Mon & Tues with surgery early Weds.

Your team will go over your foods/vitamin regime.

I only take a chewable Multi-Vitamin & B-12. At my 3 month follow up is when they add Calcium but my labs came back great so I'm only taking 1 calcium every other day instead of the 3 daily. Will redo that lab in 30 days to make sure it's still good.

Just think in 1 short week you'll be done with it and starting to feel a whole lot better

Good luck on your journey.

So will they let you know before you leave the hospital what to take? When did you have yours done?

I just feel so in prepared after the after fact! So worried its big going to work for me!

Thanks for your help guys

I had a LONG group appt the week prior to surgery with 5 or 6 others having surgery the same week.

They gave us and went over what to expect and what to do the 1st 2 weeks after surgery which was nice so I could have everything I would need ready when I got home.

Each member of my team, Dr/NUT/PA/Clinic Director all came in day of discharge to go over details and make sure I understood what was going on.

I also had a pre-op class to tell us what to eat "drink really" after surgery and then a 1 week class to give us all the info about Vitamins. You will do great....it really isn't a big deal with the vitamins, it has become 2nd nature now. Everything is 2nd nature now and I don't even think about it much. I had to remind myself to take a deep breath and everything will be OK. I can't tell you how good it feels to wake up in the morning and not feel bloated, with a nausea feeling because I overate right before going to bed. And the guilt of the ever revolving eat something horrible, feel bad, say to myself "what does it matter now, might as well eat what I want", just to feel so guilty again. That is all gone....I have followed my DR's plan EXACTLY for nine weeks now and have never felt better in my life. Good luck to you and you will do great !!!!!

I hope it goes well I'm really hoping they let you know everything before you leave! I'm worried too! I want to know everything so it do it perfectly so there is no complications after

I think every Dr is different, mine didn't have me start Vitamins until one week after surgery. It was good for me because I had some much to work on concentrating on getting my Water and liquids in that I would not have wanted to worry about vitamins at that point.
