Tomorrow is the big day with Dr. Jay

Congratulations!!! Are you having your surgery in the States? I don't know what you should bring if you are going out of the country? I brought slippers, a robe, chapstick, large panties (you are so swollen afterwards), a bra that did not have underwire, and a comfortable outfit to wear home.

I am pretty sure others will give you some other suggestions just in case I forgot something.

You will do fine tomorrow. They kept telling me but I didn't hear them because I was so scared...but being on the other side...the sleeved side is wonderful!!!!!

Something else you might like to pack is a heating pad. I found it very soothing on both my tummy and back throughout the process. Good luck!

Kind of scared but ready to go!!!! What should I bring with?

Hey girl,

I was thinking about you this morning. Good luck! Dr. Jay will take very good care of you. Make sure you have a small pillow to help you get up & down. Jodie, the nurse, will take excellent care of you for your overnight stay. She is the best nurse ever.

I can't wait to hear how things go!! Good luck & I'll be praying for you. See you on the loser side!! :001_rolleyes:

Motherof4 - I hope your surgery went well today. I am thinking of trying Dr. Jay. My appointment with the surgeon here is on Friday, but I am not sure how many sleeve surgeries he has done. I know he has done thousands of RNYs because everyone I know went to him.

Do you know how many VSGs Dr. Jay has done?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
