Just finished pre-op testing
I am 1 week away from surgery and the nerves are starting to kick in. It feels good to finally be done with all of testing/consult appointments, all that's left is my pre-op apt with my surgeon on Monday. I feel like I need to prepare my home like I did before each of babies were born. So many things running through my mind.
Any tips on things to do at home before surgery?

I'm in the same boat... my VSG is scheduled for Dec.1st and I had my pre-op testing on Monday, I started my pre-op diet on Monday and and have a meeting with the surgeon for the final time on Thursday. How do I stop from being so hungry? I have been drinking a lot of water but i'm still hungry... so far I have been able to just have the protein shakes and the small meal for supper. but after eating anything I want, My stomach won't stop the "There's a Rumbling in my Tumbling" Good Luck....
I think besides things like making sure household chores are all caught up, one of the best pieces of advice I had was to make sure your grocery shopping was all done for at least the first two weeks after surgery. And make sure you have a good variety of food, since who knows what will sound or taste good after the surgery is done.
