I have my surgery on 4/3. I am anxious and excited..... Anyone else scheduled soon... Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I'm excited for you. I'm 2 weeks away.

I'd say stock up on tylenol, small containers of a variety of protein shakes, (you never know what you'll actually be able to tolerate) lots of high protein soups to blend, and water bottles. Don't forget to pack a comb in your overnight case.... I did... and I was wheeled out looking like medusa.

Good for you. No surgery date for me yet, figuring May/June. All I can say is stock up on the liquid vitamins and protein shakes.

Best of luck to you!

Thanks you all... I really appreciate the suggestions and the encouragement . Will keep you posted

Out of everything I brought.. I used Chapstick, deoderant, toothbrush, hairbrush and phone charger. I brought a book but was flying too high on pain meds to be interested.

TWO more days for you! How exciting.

Having my surgey in 7 hour......wide awake.....excited!

I slept 30 min the night before surgery and I wish I took some melatonin and slept more because the three days in the hospital they woke me up every 15-30 min. The day I left my fiancée was like do u want me to go pick this up then come get you and I was like noooo get me the hell out of here so I can sleep lol

Hi, I am scheduled on 5/1. I am so excited & can't wait to get the process started. I have a lot of low back pain, knee pain & also hip pain. For the last few years I have taken so many steroid injections & one day I just made up my mind to just take the step to get the weight off. My doctor said it is the best decision I have ever made. Wish I would have done it sooner. Getting ready for Pre Op testing & more education classes. Good luck! I am anxious to see how it goes for you!

Having my surgery in 1 hour.... Not so anxious anymore ... Just ready to get the show on the road. Sending positive thought and prayers.... I will keep you posted as soon as I have a clear head... Maybe

???? I'm right behind your on the 21st and while I'm anxious I'm not stressing. Keep focusing in the healthier, happier you and why you decided to take this journey. I'll be looking our for your posts after your surgery. God bless!!!
