Seeking pre-surgery advice

Hello!  I'm excited to be scheduled for the sleeve surgery in just over 2 weeks and I'm wondering what was the best advice you were given prior to your surgery? 

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery!​

Here are some links to information you may find helpful:

Also, be sure and post this on the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Forum (VSG) so you can reach out to those that are having the same surgery as you.

We can't wait to hear from you post-op!

Make sure you sip sip sip and walk walk walk and bring chap stick and biotin mouthwa**** helps with dry mouth. I brought a sippy cup to the hospital it helped to remind me to sip

Take a pillow for the car. Place it under the seatbelt

I brought a sleep/sound machine which was the best idea ever since I was right outside of the nurse's station for 5 days!  Good luck.

It's not magic. If you do not learn healthy habits (and stick to them), you will not only never reach your goal, you will gain it all back.

Thank you all for the wonderful advice!
