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!!!

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!!!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
