Surgery tomorrow

[diekoi 43]

And I am nervous, super excited, but nervous. Can't seem to focus on things- like what do I pack? What if something happens? Will this actually work? And I am hungry (liquids only today)

[diekoi 43]

And... Why am I gasy today? Is that going to be bad for tmrw? Caffeine headaches?

Ughhh

Just breath, you will be fine. Only thing you need is a robe, socks, gas-x. I was starving when I went in, but I"m never hungry now and it's liberating. Good luck and just keep your eye on the prize!

I'm having my sleeve tomorrow too at 9 am. So nervous and exited. Good luck and keep posting. It'll be nice to follow someone else who's going on the same day I am.

I brought comfy clothes like sweat pants & t-shirts and honestly I was so happy to change into them on day 2. I brought gas-x and a heating pad for the gas pain- the heating pad worked better. Toiletries such as toothbrush, deodorant, chapstick (the hospital also provided these). I also brought my iphone and ear buds. I had my ipad too but the phone was easier to hold. The ear buds were great because I was in a double room. When I wasn't sleeping I was bored so spent a lot of time online - bring something to keep you busy. I brought my own towel because the tiny little hand towels that they give you to shower don't even start to work . Lastly make sure you have your insurance card on you so that you can easily pick up any RX that you leave with!

I always overpack but I think it is so much more relaxing to know that you have what you need!

Don't forget chapstick! My Dr. gave me a list and I brought everything but the chapstick. I had to call to have someone bring me some!

Wow! Thanks for all the tips! My surgery is Jan 16th. I have 11 lbs to lose. Started all liquid today - think this next two weeks is going to be hell! I'm so excited to be healthy again and comfortable not just in my own skin but doing things I have struggled with for so many years. Can't wait to coach softball and run with the kids this June! Im hopeful the weight I lose will help my horrible knees and back pain. Goal weight 135 here I come!! I hope the hungry feeling gets better this week- I want a cracker!! The end result will be worth it I'm certain, I think I want to eat right now because I'm sort of scared.
