Surgery scheduled tomorrow have to check in at 5:30 am central. Would like some tips and advice for surgery day and what to expect I know everyone’s experience is different but still would like to hear some information. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated

Good luck! Mine was very quick and easy, I had no complications. I slept pretty much the whole day. SIP the water.

wishing you good luck and an easy recovery. !!

Good luck! You'll do great! I woke up with some pain in the recovery area that lasted an hour and then just totally disappeared. Was in the hospital 2 nights, no issues. Didn't sleep much, but didn't have ANY gas pain. Shockingly painless surgery.

Bring pajamas so you don't have to wear a gown the whole time. And a hairbrush. They gave me a toothbrush and deodorant and stuff. Also don't forget a cellphone charger.

Good Luck tomorrow!! Let us know when you can how you’re doing!!

BTW easy recovery. I was nauseous but I get sick from anesthesia. Little gas pain from CO2 they use to inflate your abdomen. But that clears up on its own. Recovery was a breeze!

Awesome I’m looking for the same outcome. I’m so excited and ready to get this done so I can start my real journey. I probably won’t sleep tonight lol

Are you doing sleeve or bypass?

I’m doing the sleeve. Did you have the sleeve as well? Just finished packing my overnight bag and alarm set for 3 but I’m sure I won’t need it. They gave me this stuff I believe I’m supposed use to clean the area of the stomach

Good luck & wishing you a speedy recovery.

Good luck and post when you can. You are not alone.

Sending you good vibes and a speedy recovery! Post when you can my surgery is scheduled 5/7/19.
