Well, this time next Friday I will be banded. I have been amazingly calm about this. I am going to Monterrey, so I have dealt with all the financial crap. Got a personal loan and cashiers check. I have my travel arrangements. Just ordered some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury protien mix and will stock up on liquids this weekend. Got some IcyHot stick ons and some GasX. Now I am running out of details to think about and am getting the jitters about the actual surgery. No second thoughts, just normal nervousness. It is getting close. Is there anything else that I should get beforehand (to have on hand) to make this as smooth and painless as possible?

Oh my gosh, nervousness aside, I literally cant wait to have this done! And to just have this part of it over. The waiting is torture.

Heating pad, socks, jammies, slippers, all the comfy stuff you need at a hospital. I took some gatorade (they don't have a big selection in MX) and jell-o snax too. I don't know about your doc, but mine said to use liquid tylenol, so I brought that (they gave me heavier stuff, but I wasn't too impressed with it)

Best of luck to you!
