Trying to find out what to do the help physically.....I've been doing great on Liver shrinking diet but am wondering about any other pre surgery tricks....and although I'll only be in hospital for two days...one night....what should I bring...or not bring?

Thank you

Will be thinking of you...best of Luck.

My surgery is tomorrow too!!!!! I go in at 5:30a!!! I am so excited! Yay us!!!!!!!!

As far as packing, I have a gown, some very loose fitting lounge shorts, a t-shirt and flip flops. I of course packed my basic toiletries. My phone charger, phone, my journal, and my shaker bottle.

My husband was sleeved on 7/28/15 and he pretty much had the same minus the gown (lol).

He wore what he wore to the hospital home which I plan to do as well.

My husband is already down 11 pounds!!!!!!!!!!! So I am ready!

Good luck to you, I look forward to following up with you post-op.

Oh as far as the pre-op diet, my surgeon has his patients drink a bottle of magnesium citrate to clear your tummy out!

Good luck!!!!

Thanks so much everyone....the surgery went great...I did have to stay an extra night because the sweeping was bad and I wasn't keeping any fluids down...very nauseous! I made sure to walk a lot...that def helps move the gas around. I'm home now...on the mend. I never realized how difficult it'd be to drink 90oz of water/clear liq in one day.....today is my first full day....I'm making it my job...haha
