Trellunit 49 Posted March 26, 2019 Surgery scheduled tomorrow have to check in at 5:30 am central. Would like some tips and advice for surgery day and what to expect I know everyone’s experience is different but still would like to hear some information. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated 2 Duchess Angie and shanshan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Avery's Mom 315 Posted March 26, 2019 Good luck! Mine was very quick and easy, I had no complications. I slept pretty much the whole day. SIP the Water. 1 shanshan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mousecat88 2,281 Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Good luck! You'll do great! I woke up with some pain in the recovery area that lasted an hour and then just totally disappeared. Was in the hospital 2 nights, no issues. Didn't sleep much, but didn't have ANY gas pain. Shockingly painless surgery. Bring pajamas so you don't have to wear a gown the whole time. And a hairbrush. They gave me a toothbrush and deodorant and stuff. Also don't forget a cellphone charger. Edited March 26, 2019 by mousecat88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kris77 1,538 Posted March 27, 2019 BTW easy recovery. I was nauseous but I get sick from anesthesia. Little gas pain from CO2 they use to inflate your abdomen. But that clears up on its own. Recovery was a breeze! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trellunit 49 Posted March 27, 2019 Awesome I’m looking for the same outcome. I’m so excited and ready to get this done so I can start my real journey. I probably won’t sleep tonight lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris77 1,538 Posted March 27, 2019 Are you doing sleeve or bypass? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trellunit 49 Posted March 27, 2019 I’m doing the sleeve. Did you have the sleeve as well? Just finished packing my overnight bag and alarm set for 3 but I’m sure I won’t need it. They gave me this stuff I believe I’m supposed use to clean the area of the stomach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
