Surgery Oct. 4th

I have my surgery on Oct. 4th. Any last minute words of wisdom? I'm supposed to be on full liquids about 2-3 weeks after surgery. So I have my cupboards stocked with broth, protein shakes, crystal light, multi-vitamin, b-12, calcium, etc. For some reason, I keep thinking I'm forgetting something. I have heard that some get gas afterwards, so I need to go get some Gas-X. Anything else I should get? Thanks! - Jeannette

Jeannette, I'm early on in this process but so I don't have any words of wisdom. Just wondering where you're having your surgery done? I'm in the Duke WLS program. Hoping to have surgery in the next 4 mos. Best of luck with yours. Kerri C.

Thanks! I'm having my surgery at New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, NC. Dr. Harris is my surgeon. I had one of my children at New Hanover and had a great experience. So I feel I'm in good hands. I heard the Duke program is excellent. Good luck in your journey and keep us posted!

Don't forget the SF pops, they are a god send afterwards!! Twinnytwin

I would say some books or magazines, or even movies. I am a very impatient person, after 24 hours in the hospital I was ready to go home. I looked at very few tv programs. I'm 7 months out and havne't had one problem. Good luck and to a uneventful surgery and recovery. JT
