It's Monday evening and my procedure is Wednesday morning. Please let me know if there is anything you wish you had, while in the hospital. Tell me about your hospital stay...mine is scheduled to last until Friday...two nights total. How was your pain? Just nerves I guess. Thanks for anything you can provide... :)

Mines is tomorrow also. And I was told that the first 16 hrs are regretful. But it gets better after that. I was told to bring a cough pillow a rob and slippers.

Don't forget chargers for your portable devices. Once I was back in my room recovering I listened to my ipod non-stop. The music helped me to relax. The only minor discomfort I felt was from the gas they inflate you with. Start walking as soon as you can, it should help to relieve the discomfort. Good luck and best wishes! :) :) :)

Thanks, Trevor. Looking at your profile, it says you're 100 lbs lost and surgery was in Spetember. That's fantastic! How much of that 100 is from your surgery date? My Surgery weight is going to be 305....down from 318 at the start of my two week pre-op diet.

I was 305 at the start of my two week pre-op and 299 on the day of surgery.

Bring a cough pillow, or something to hold against your stomach when you move, cough, or try to get up. I used a folded up hospital blanket, it worked fine. Get up and walk as soon as possible after surgery, it helps keep your lungs clear.

Bring your own cozy socks/slippers. Other than that, enjoy ALL the drugs lol. You will not care where you are or what you're missing :-).

You are so right, I dozed off and on for a few hours then I fell into a deeper sleep, my aunt said while I was sleeping I was pushing the button on my pain pump!

Really good question. I'll be waking tomorrow to 14th day pre-op fast with my surgery this Thursday morning. I've lost 31.6lbs in 13days and I haven't even been sleeved yet. I feel skinny, but boy.. These 13 have been tough. Any thoughts to prevent me from biting bystanders tomorrow and additional advise weathering the surgery or when I wake up at Cleveland Clinic Weston with a tinier tummy. Chargers packed.

I am a week out.

Chapstick!! Your lips and mouth are going to be so dry and I made my grandma leave and buy me chapstick and it felt so much better.

Loose fitting clothes to go home in, and possible a robe of some sort to put over tour back cause they will probably make you walk the halls after surgery.

Good luck on your journey!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
