Tomorrow (10/15) is the day!

I just don't think it has hit me yet! I am so excited. Took my magnesium citrate drink and have to pack my bag. I'm more excited rather than nervous.

Anyone around theme same time? Nervous? Excited? Anything special to bring to hospital besides Chapstick?

  • I have my first consultation tomorrow so we've both got exciting stuff happening! I can't wait to be where you are!

  • I'm feeling good. Trying to keep up on my liquids. And taking pain meds about every 4hrs. Gas pain is not bad at all. Just have to drink slow. I can feel it going down and if I take too big of a gulp

It will go fast! trust me! My husband ordered me a plush sleeve stomach like in your profile pic. I will get it at the hospital tomorrow! :)

HAHA! I found that little guy on Google images and I have affectionately started calling him "Verti" :D

Ah that's cute!! I sent him the link to buy it as a hint I wanted it. I saw the charge through our bank account, so I know I am getting it. :)

ohhhh, sneaky sneaky! You'll have to send me the link, I would love to get one!

Its a little expensive but not too bad. I think the other link I found you can personalize and date too. Those are more expensive. https://www.etsy.com/listing/162403454/weight-loss-surgery-plush-toy-gastric

If you google gastric sleeve plush you get a bunch. They even have key chains as a cheeper alternative!

I'm too nervous to sleep! I am October 15th as well! I'm on edge right now! Gotta be at the hospital in 6 hours! Hope everything goes wonderfully for you! See you on the "loser's bench"!

Good luck guys!!! I can't wait to be where you are!

Crystal, hope you are doing ok! I know you're probably resting good!

Doing well. Leaving the hospital in a few!

I have a question why do you have to take magnesium citrate

  • Author

It clears out your system. So there will be nothing in your stomach when they do surgery.

Not to be funny but thats laxative omg how are you suppose to leave the house in the morning of surgery after taking that I would think you would have to stay pretty close to the bathroom
