I was scheduled for the gastric sleeve procedure I’m December. Last night the Dr called and said he had a cancellation for this Monday, November 12. I’m very excited and very nervous. Any advice would be appreciated.

Congrats! You'll do well. Don't over think. Drink drink drink and walk tons!!! Don't take too much to the hospital! You won't need it!

@Sheleybeth

Welcome to our group!!

Wow, how exciting. Great news. Head spinning?!!You were not prepared for early WLS.

You feeling excited, scared are very understandable. two common feelings by many OP

Make some food ahead of time for family - DH or children. Plans to take are of

children - or if none above apply - make plans for someone to check in on you.

Don't over buy protein shakes, any food etc. Your taste buds might change. What you like today you might not like PO.

Best of luck☺️

Just to sorta second Fluffy Chix and the rest, you're not pack,i g for a cruise, I packed, unpacked , repacked and although I didn't think I over-packed, I still didn't use most of what I took. Instead of a cruise, it's more like a baby'sitting job in what you need. Hospitals usually can or will furnish what you might need. If you don't mind ugly you'll do fine. I think Ohio State patients gowns are so blamed UGLY you would be,laughed off a city street if you tried to escape. And I ❤and appreciate their skill and care of me but ***these are their tailors!????and?.

Wow that’s exciting! You’ll do great! I third what everyone’s saying about not taking much to the hospital! Get some clear protein drinks for afterwards because you’ll be sick of the super sweet and milky ones!

Good luck!

I was super nervous too! Thought I was gonna die. You’ll be fine. They do this alllll the time! Good luck! Very happy for you!!
