Surgery Tomorrow

I am so nervous, I' ve just started getting my things together for my hospital stay. Just wondering if anyone had any last minute advice?

I just had my surgery with Dr. Pecequex on 4/21.  Her and her team are phenomenal.  The nurses were great too at St. E's.  Just remember to walk as much as possible.  I didn't have any gas pain at all it is all just one port site on my left side that hurts.  Make sure you buy a pill crusher for at home because you will need to crush any pills you take (yep it's gross, but necessary) I mix mine with a little bit of s/f vanilla pudding and get em down.  Good luck and I'll see you at one of the support group meetings!!!

My advice - RELAX !!! lol I know it's hard - try - Good luck and let us know how it goes !

Relax ... I so agree with Lisa.  I actually had no nerves going into surgery.  All will go well - CONGRATULATIONS on your WLS journey!

WALK!!! It will help with the gas! 

Good luck!!! 

Relax, think positive thoughts and be kind to yourself. You will heal quickly and be off to a brand new start at enjoying life!

Just take this time to concentrate on you....  You'll be fine. Dr. P is amazing!!  Let us know when you get home, that your okay and if you have any immediate question**** us up.

Welcome to the losers bench.

good luck!  the best advice i got was that the frist 3 weeks are tough - you are going to think "what the hell did i do to myself" i went in expecting it to suck - and it did at times -but i am now 6 months out and 100 lbs lighter.  i weigh less than i did in middle school.  the benefits are endless and the amazing moments are insane!  you are never going to regret this!  i look forward to your updates!
