Having my surgery March 20th it'd be cool to meet someone that is having/had the surgery!

I've never written in a forum before so please be nice I'm 24 in Duluth, Minnesota and having my gastric sleeve on March 20th. I start the two week liquid diet on March 6th. I'm nervous about everything! I'm the kind of person that needs to know all the details and I feel unprepared. Tell me everything that happens and what you wish you knew going in. My surgeon says I'll be out same day I won't spend the night in the hospital is that true? How fast will I lose weight? Do you lose a lot in the liquid diet? What do I bring with to the hospital? Is it possible the surgery won't work? And anything else you can think of I'm a nervous wreck. Thank you

I'm sceduled for March 20th. I start my liquid on the 6th and see the nutritionist on the 5th. I'm afraid they'll be upset because I've gained 6 pounds since I saw her last in early December. Christmas really threw me off and I stopped trying as hard and couldn't get back on track. Now every time I'm hungry I feel guilty. Do you think I'll still get the surgery? I don't know why I'm such a nervous wreck.

Duluth, Minnesota St Lukes Hospital Do you have a two week liquid diet too?

is it normal to puke blood? My surgery is March 20th and I feel like i have no idea what's going to happen.
