[Trellunit 49]

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

Good luck! Mine was very quick and easy, I had no complications. I slept pretty much the whole day. SIP the Water.

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.

Good Luck tomorrow!! Let us know when you can how you’re doing!!

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!

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

Are you doing sleeve or bypass?

[Trellunit 49]

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
