Hey guys is there anyone being sleeved on or around 10/22. I need a buddy someone anyone LOL I feel like a little kid but I need someone that I can compare notes with on what to bring or what not to bring. I see so many encouraging posts and friendship bonds forming and I need that in my life So if anyone is having surgery around this date or even the end of October just drop me a line and we can partner up.

Blessings,

Am

Girl yes!! I've been drinking the Boost low calorie shakes. They aren't that bad, I prefer chocolate. I can't sleep at all...I have mixed emotions...

Things to take to the hospital:

- Comfortable slippers or slip-on shoes

- Loose-fitting clothes

- A puzzle book (crossword or sudoku)

- A deck of playing cards

- A laptop or iPad

- An MP3 player with relaxing music

- A good book and/or magazines

- Your favorite pillow

- Pen, paper, or a journal for recording thoughts and feelings

-toothbrush and toothpaste

-your own pads. Sometimes the shock of your body can cause a period

-CHAPSTICK

I also invested in a robe that was my favorite thing ever. I loved that they let me wear it while walking the floors after surgery.

Good luck ladies! (And gentleman if any of you commented as well)

I would bring the least amount of stuff as possible. I brought my phone and an extension cord. I brought a blanket from home and the most important thing was biotine mouth spray this was a huge life savor

You can't really wear a robe with the iv an they give u those socks to wear.

I wore sweats and a t there and u wore the same thing home ....... Best of luck

I'm nervous, excited, anxious, scared, sad, happy, you name it and I have felt it. I'm really excited to eat pureed foods at this point! I'm sleeping good now just because of the pre op diet but the night before I probably won't sleep good. At least I will have to be up by 5am and check in at 7am so it will be a quick morning.

I'm getting sleeved on 10/22 also , excited , scared but so ready to get this done and move on . We will be fine , what am I taking to the hospital , we'll still trying to decide , prob 2 pairs of Pj's , slippers , and that's as far as I have gotten . Still struggling on the 2 weeks diet of no food , only protein shakes . One of the hardest things I have ever done . We will do this and be fine . Stay in touch my surgery is a 7:30 am , glad it's not late in the day .....

I'm in a few AWESOME and SUPPORTIVE Facebook groups. They are all secret. I'm in two that are for "October Sleevers" and the third is for "WLS for 20-somethings"

If you want to be added to any, leave your email here or in a message and I'll add you right away!

I'm excited and nervous!

I also heard that I shouldn't take a robe. And that we will be so out of it we won't remember half of the things we bring. As far as shakes I still haven't found a favor or brand i like. All of them give me a horrible after taste. But I know I better get it together bc I will need my protein post op. I have stocked up on broth. Congrats to those of you being sleeved in the morning. I cam so proud of all of us for making this life changing decision. I wish I could reach and hug all of you. #Happsunday 4 more days the anticipation is killing me.

I'm in Maryland.

I'm in md too...what part I'm 10/19

I am being sleeved tomorrow. I am excited and nervous all in one! I have 3 different kinds of shakes going in. But I know I'll be cutting out the GNC lean 25 for a bit til I can have more calories. I have French vanilla and banana in that one. I have unjury Vanilla and chicken Soup Unjury. I also have Isopure Zero Carb Apple Melon and Pineapple/Orange/Banana.

I want to try the Isopure Lemonade but can only get that one online. Best wishes for you. Prayers for patience!

When you walk the halls, they usually drape a hospital robe around your shoulders to cover up your back side better. I wanted to feel mode comfortable and at home, that's why j purchased one myself. After I was home from surgery, that robe was amazing because some days you just don't feel like doing much besides laying around and being comfy.

I'm just starting this journey! I'm in my 6 month insurance required waiting period. But I feel the excitement and anticipation for u all and for me!!!!!

10/22 surgery date and already can't sleep! Just ready for this to be over already!

@@justme29 I heard a few mixed reviews about the unjury Soup I may try some but I am not sure yet.
