So I had my sleeve done may 30 and she saw how successful I've been so far, she's also overweight and my dad kept on telling her it would be a great idea for her to do it as well and she agreed. She just wanted to see on me how did it go the first month. so now its her turn. SHES HAVING IT TOMORROW.. She asked me if I can please ask all of you what are some recommendations you give her? Since many of you are around her age, (I'm only 20 years so the process is way different) Also a list of things she must have in the hospital. She's going to be in the hospital 2 nights and 3 days. Thank you all for your support!!!

I too am having WLS after my 23 yr old daughter did it last October. She has lost over 100lbs and had a quick recovery. I wish your mom well and positive thoughts for her tomorrow!

I was in the hospital by myself. After I came out of surgery I kissed my husband goodbye and told him to go take care of work and our kids and come get me the next day.

I changed into pajama pants soon after for my comfort. I had my phone to contact family and friends. I had chap stick. That was crucial. Also I wore my shoes as I was walking around the hospital hallways. This is because I had to take the iv stand and I kept kicking it. So my shoes helped with that.

If she's staying that long bring toiletries for showering and brushing her teeth. Maybe moisturizer lotion. I didn't need those because I left the next day at noon.

Congrats on both of your decisions regarding great health and a new life. My daughters are very supportive of my decision.

I am 17 days post op and 20 pound down from my pre op diet. It's the best decision I've made for myself.
