flower · June 7, 2005

Hi everyone going for surgery on June 9th and I wanted to know if there are any last minute things I need or should know I know there are alot of june bandsters and I hope we all do well we are changing our lives forever in a positive way. I emailed my doctor and he said it was a very same procedure with excellent results I really want to succeed as we all do. So any advice would be greatly appreciated IE. things needed what food I should stock up on. thinks they don't tell you but should know. thanks again

How exciting for you, surgery is just 2 days away.

Pack light, you will not need much

Have all of your Clear liquids ready for you when you get home so you do not have to go out to the store along with GasX and some adult strength liquid tylenol.

Good Luck to you on Thursday

I don't know how strong your stomach is but I could not take adult tylenol. I had to use childrens liquid or I got very sick. It just depends on the person.

Michelle is right, Pack light. I packed waaaaaaay too much. My hospital provided me with socks, toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, Shampoo, lotion etc..

TAKE CHAP STICK OR LIP BALM!!!!! I used a ton of that.

And as many have posted here before.... DON'T FORGET TO SHAVE YOUR LEGS!!!

Good luck and I will say a special prayer for you.

Cool, I have'nt gone through it yet but I agree for you to stock up before you have it done. I am a June Bandster! I will have mine at the end of June. On the 30th. Keep me posted on how you're feeling and How well you do. I am sure you will do fine and will on the loosing side soon.

Here's my thread on the pre-surgery shopping list....http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=7338&highlight=shopping

I'm excited for you!!! Post all the details, I'm excited to hear!!

I'm a June Bandster too. Date set for June 23. Freaking out because I called my Dr's office today to make sure they have everything from me they need. They said I needed an letter from my primary Dr saying I'm cleared for surgery. They didn't tell me about needing that before. So now I'm FREAKING out. My Dr is on vacation and I've left a message for her backup.....but HOLY CRAP.

Two weeks out is NOT the time to discover new requirements.

I'm a wreck. Going to be out of town starting Thursday and so time is slim.

Having to BREATHE here.....I must affirm that the backup doc will read my file and send the letter and ALL WILL BE WELL.

(help me not feel like weeping!)
