Getting ready physically and mentally

[gelen's_change 157]

Im getting ready to get my vsg not only by getting all the things the doc requires but also what my body need. Basically i got all my four wisdom teeth removed which where bothering me, im also getting a cleaning. Im going to get pampered the week of, im going to get my feet, nails, n hair done. This is mostly to help me relax oh n a nice massage lol. Also i got a scale, a ninja blender, small 2 and 4 oz container, a Water bottle, smart Water bottles.< /p>

Please give me some ideas on how else to prepare for this.

A small pillow to hold against your stomach so when you cough it will not pull on the stitches.

4 week supply of Protein drinks (per my dietitian)

Take before pics (the nurse took it today at my pre-op doctor's appt; had her take some with my iphone also)

As for me, I'm going to pamper my stomach before I begin my pre-op diet.

I would suggest that you free yourself of any stress in your life so that you can focus on your challenge. I have found that to be the most helpful of anything else. Surround yourself with positive people and remember that Rome wasn't built in a day. Oh, and continue to pamper yourself. Good Luck!

Please give me some ideas on how else to prepare for this.

I was thinking the same thing. I bought a new scale, bottle for my shakes, and I did a mini pedicure for my pre op visit. Lol This Surgery seems like the a a great start in of a new direction of taking better care of my self. I have great at taking care of others.

Lastly, to get prepared I started picking up items for my hospital bag as I'm half packed. My date is the 27th.

Good luck

I'm petrified of an infection so I'm basically bleaching the entire house but I like your plan (massage, etc) better. My surgery is 2/26. Best wishes.

Well I am the local pedicure lady. I have my own salon so I'm gonna have to find someone to give me a pedi. You may want to take a heating pad. I've heard they help a lot. GasX strips. Listerine strips. Ear plugs. Eye mask. Phone charger.
