My surgery is scheduled for next week, the 29th!!!! Any pre-op advice?

(Funny, I have been dreaming about this surgery for so long! So weird to finally say, "next week!")

I am the 27th. I know what you mean. I can't believe it's next week either. I am excited not nervous.

Congrats to you...it is an exciting time!!!!!

Nervous and excited are totally normal....follow your docs instructions....rest after surgery and make sure you give yourself time to heal.

Always remember why you chose to have WLS it will help you through the tough days (and there may be some).

Good luck and let us know how surgery went

I wish you the best of luck! Just follow your doctor's advice. Take good care of yourself afterwards. You will be in a little pain, but it really is manageable. Just take your pain medications and walk - walk alot. You will feel better in no time. Its understandable to be nervous, but I just know you are going to do great!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
