It is finally here! 1/2/13 is the day! I am prepared mentally for a rough couple of days, because I know everyday after that will be just a little bit better, and on the road to healthy and fit!

I am busy packing a bag tonight, and getting ready to shower with my special soap. Going to bed early tonight, because I have to be at the hospital by 6am.

Any last advice? Things I should bring to the hospital with me?

This forum is great, thanks for sharing all your experiences and advice. It is nice to know you are not alone in this journey. You can have a ton of support from friends and family, but having someone, lots of someones :) understand just what you are going through is great support.

Wish me luck!

I just took comfy clothes to wear home and my cellphone charger so I could make sure to keep it charged. I used the notepad on my phone to write questions that I had for the doctors. Good luck. I have my 2 week post op checkup tomorrow

Good luck!!!! How exciting!!!

I took all the suggestions an had the gas x strips, SF Halls, listerine strips etc, etc... BUT, the only thing I ever took out of my bag was the chap-stick!! I'm sure if I had to do it all over again I'd still take everything just in case... But, don't forget the chapstick!! After surgery when your mouth & lips are so dry... oMG, such a relief!!

well fellow sleevers...early I'm on the other side. I feel amazing, no pain, just a little gas pain but nothing intolerable. I have already taken a stroll down the hallways, just ordered some broth and Jello for dinner, and think I will take another little stroll when I'm done. thank you thank you for everybody support.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
