Smart move planning it near spring break so you get a free recovery week. Good luck on your surgery. Take some Chapstick because your lips will be super dry until they do a leak test and let you start taking in fluids.

Best wishes for your surgery and recovery.

Relax......you are in GREAT HANDS with Dr. Kim. He is MY surgeon and he is the very best !!! I too would suggest what Karla said take chapstick....carmax or whatever you use for dry lips. Also take a bed pillow with you so when you are released from the hospital you can put it between you and the seat belt. Also try really hard to attend all the support groups that you can. That really does help make your WL journey easier for you because someone will answer your questions and Dr. Kim will tell you that it helps getting advice from someone who has "been there". Good luck to you !!!

Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose. Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email. I'll answer it as soon as possible.
