I WOULD LOVE KNOWLEDGE>>>thanks also products in canada...ontario ...suggested...brands...etc. THANK YOU>>>>all of you

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. It is an amazing tool. I have lost 101 lbs in just 4 short months (well will be 4 months next week!) and I couldn't have imagined this in a million years. My best suggestions for your pre op is to cut out as much of the junk as you can. I cut out all sodas because that was an unnecessary evil for me. Dr. Davis put me on a two week liquid diet and I thought that was going to kill me, but it didn't and I lost 32lbs in those two weeks so it was amazing! I have lost a total of 133lbs so far total. It was worth everything I have been thru and then some!

Don't forget to take Chap Stick with you to the hospital man my lips were really dry and cracked. I wouldn't pack a lot .. I didn't use half of what I brought. They did let me wear my own pajamas which made me feel more normal. I also took a pillow with me... someone told me to do that and on the ride home I held it against my stomach and helped brace for a bumpy ride.

I also took Crystal Light with me so husband could make me a drink when I was cleared to drink it. I was getting tired of water at that point!

I would HIGHLY recommend...a liver ultrasound....too fatty of a liver will cause you to have an open surgery ( i had one) and it sucks!  Try and do also whatever you can from now until then to lose weight....that completely helps!!!


Good Luck!
