Hello everyone! I have started my liquid diet and the days are passing so fast! I am super excited and extremely nervous at the same time. I am staying positive and of course thinking about all the good vs. what little bad could happen. I have never had a surgery and I have never stayed over night in a hospital so I am defiantly a newbie when it comes to the medical world! So here is my question.. What should I bring with me for my post op stay in the hospital?

Hey Dexter, My name is Jessica- I am new to this forum. But I had to reply to you because not only are we having the surgery a day apart (mine is the 8th) but we are doing it with the same surgeon. I have been thinking like crazy- visiting different forums and talking to people on social media and its helped a lot. Its awesome to know that I am kind of going through the same thought process as most others. I am also staying positive which really helps at the moment. I feel the same type of faintness you are feeling- and I keep reminding myself that it is totally normal! i actually went to my pre op assessment today and everything went amazing! Have you done yours? What flavor is your favorite shake? I bought all three and I am leaning towards the strawberry and chocolate. And of course I bought Jello as a nice little treat. It gives me the feeling that I am eating, you know? How excited are you for this surgery?
