Two days guys!!!! I am excited and nervous!!!! I'm ready for it to be done w/ so I can get on w/ healing and get my life going again!!

Any words of wisdom?

Take chapstick with you. Walk as soon as you can for the gas to move around and out. Congrats btw.

Congrats and good luck. Ditto on what @johnsons13 suggested. You won't have much to worry about as the staff will be there to take care of your needs. I slept most of the time I was there so time to kill was not an issue. Enjoy the journey!!!

Don’t bring an underwire bra to wear home - I did and it hurt! Lol

Bring the bare minimum. I packed a small cinch pack with toiletries and phone charger and never once opened my bag. My phone was the last place I wanted to be

Thank you everyone. It all went well. I woke up with a lot more pain then what I anticipated however my nurses were on top of it!!! I was walking w/in 20 min of waking up and getting into my room ANNNND was released the same day to go home, I was super proud of myself. I now am back to work ( I work at a desk) and I am in some pain and super uncomfy butttt I'm pushing through!

Avoid over packing. It's not a vacation LOL
Dry mouth spray and lip balm was such an amazing thing to have post op when they don't let you drink anything!

Bring a pillow, not just for the overnight if you have one, but for the ride home to put between you and the belt.

Good luck and Congrats!

Hey! I'm doing good!!! I followed my Dr to a T about pre op instructions. They said my liver was perfect and such. I forced myself to get up and walk. I did not want to however. It was more painful then i was prepared for however getting up and moving as soon as you can will help you sooooo much.

Right now im on mushie stages but i feel like i pushed myself to get there and alot of days I go back to liquid because i know my stomach isnt ready. Just listen to your doctors and your body. You got this!!!!! Good luck!!!!!

Oh yes you got this!!!! Sometimes we just need a little aid (WLS) to get us to where or whom we were meant to be!

Keep me updated on how it goes, I'll keep you in my thoughts!!!!!
