Tomorrow’s the big day!

So my surgery is tomorrow 17/1! I’m wracked with nerves right now. Hoping I can get a good night’s sleep and not be up anxious all night [emoji13].

Any final words of wisdom are most welcome! Will be meeting you all on the loser’s bench soon!

  • Good luck! Bring an eye mask and earplugs for peaceful sleep if you have them. Expect a lot of waiting tomorrow, especially if you're not first thing - delays are common. You'll do great!

  • Bring lounge pants or PJ bottoms....it makes walking the halls in your hospital gown a lot less breezy:) Best wishes for a safe effective procedure!

    Good luck. I hope you have a speed recovery. I'm a week from tomorrow and feel like it's taking forever. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal App

Thank you so much! The anxiety today is through the roof. Just waiting on the nurse to call me and give me my operation time :). Thank you for the heads up about all the waiting - that’s enough time for anyone to work themselves up into a stupor [emoji23]. Excellent suggestions regarding the mask and earplugs! I just packed them in my bag now, thank you! Xoxo

I just burst with laughter [emoji23]!!! Reminds me of that episode of the Simpson’s when Homer’s hospital gown blows in the wind while he’s walking the halls hahaha. Thank you! I’ve packed some super stretchy lounge pants and bought underwear 3 sizes too big so I’m not constricted [emoji23].
