The best pre-surgery advice I got was to bring an extension cord to the hospital so that you could charge your electronics. Do it; you'll feel like a genius. :lol:

Good luck girl im 2 weeks away from my pre-op diet!! Have a speedy recovery.

The best pre-surgery advise I've received so far is drink, drink, drink the day before surgery (which is today for me). EXCEED your normal 64 ounces. My RN said it will tremendously help! Good luck to everyone. I CANNOT wait until tomorrow!!!

I did it and my surgery wasn't until 1pm. Really did do me wonders. And since I used to get up and potty in the middle of the night, I slammed two big cups those times too. I had more time to get mine all out of my tummy tho as like I said, my surgery wasn't until 1pm.

I should also say that I was allowed Gatorade zero the day before..so I was slamming that all day before surgery. Maybe look or ask if that can be had as well. My hospital said they let all bariatric patients have that day before due to the nature of the surgery.
