I just got my call yesterday, My insurance was approved and I’m scheduled for June 7th!

Day 9 on my liquid diet and 6 days till surgery!

Age:30
SW: 375
CW: 350
GW: 175

Any recommendations of things I should do before surgery or things I should pack/buy before surgery?

Congrats!
Before Surgery: work on cutting *all* added sugars, caffeine, carbonation, fats. Start the daily exercising habit now. If you don't have a scale that measures body fat, if you can, get one. The added measurement can REALLY make things easier on you when you hit a stall or gain (happens to me almost every other day now) the weight might go up or not move but body fat can still drop, if you aren't tracking body fat, then you'll miss out on a very helpful measurement.

Things for surgery: Lip Balm and Dry Mouth Spray! Sweatpants or PJ bottoms. Your own pillow (helps for the ride home as well so you can put it between you and the belt) Phone, charger, maybe a book.

Congrats again and good luck on your WLS!
