Gastric Sleeve Eve!

[Quaintrelle 79]

My surgery is at 9:30 tomorrow morning. Does anyone have any last minute advice or suggestions for the night before? I am in rather a fog...calm, anticipating, and having a hard time believing it's finally here. Is that odd? I've been overweight for so long, I am filled with hope that I will finally get this under control. I am quite ready and totally at peace and happy with this decision.

Anxiety is normal. Be positive, deep breathe and think of the goal. You don't need much for the hospital, deodorant, brush, toothbrush, underwear. I packed way to much and didn't use any of it. I stayed one night, used hospital gown and slippers. Went home in the same clothes I came in. When you get home a heating pad on your stomach is very comforting . best wishes. After a couple of days its really very manageable☺.

If you are not freaking out a little, you didn't pay attention to the material. It was really dang easy on the back end to me, but everyone is a little different. I hope your journey was a great as mine and I wish you much success.

Don't forget your CPAP if you use one! Best of luck!

Walk as much as you can when you get to your room... it's awful the pain I mean and the only way to get it out is walking

Best of luck to you! I love your title "sleeve eve"...very catchy, I may have to use that when I go, on Christmas Eve Eve (12/23).
