I was given that scrubby thing to clean my stomach with before surgery. But I can't remember if the nurse said to us it morning of or the night before surgery.

I have to be at the hospital at 6 am. Anyone know?

I was given a bottle of hibicleanse and had to use it for the three nights before surgery, paying special attention to folds and only on the abdomen. I also took a shower with it the morning of surgery, but can't remember if that was a requirement. I'd call tonight and ask if anyone can tell you. I wish doctors would give us written instructions for this stuff! :)

I was given 2. One for the night before, one the morning of. I was told if I had a reaction not to use the second pad so I didn't.

She only gave me one scrub... Hmm. I feel like she said to so it the night before but it makes more sense to me to so it morning of. I just hate having to wake up at 4am!

I was given 6 packs of hibicleanse wipes--my instructions were to shower regularly night before-no lotion or anything after. Then, using 3 packages, wipe down front of neck, chest, abdomen, arms & legs, let dry then go to bed. Next morning, no shower & repeat the wipe procedure. No lotion or deodorant.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
