3 more sleeps
Time has been flying by my brain is running overtime having a hard time to sleep so many things i still would like to get done still not brave cant seem to bring myself to watch what they will be doing i know what they are doing just don't want to see it. Started to pack should i bring my own pillow and blanket? Anything else i may need to bring ? How did you guys feel the 1st week ?
Yeah Hoooo 3 more sleeps and its the Big day. Congrats and Im super excited for you. When I go on Nov 6 I will be bringing my Pillow blanket thats up to you . They do provide but you might want some home comfort. Hows the Pre Op Diet going?
Orientation: July 23 2012 Dr Sullivan : August 16, 2012 Dietician, SW, RN, Sept 26, 2012 Dr Sullivan Oct 17, 2012 and pick up Optifast PATTS: October 24, 2012 Surgery: November 6, 2012. Starting weight 277 surgery weight 268
Bring your pillow its a comfort and then you can use the hospital pillow to splint your tummy. Don't over pack - bring toiletries, a watch, some underpants and socks. Don't worry about bringing PJ's you'll just get blood on them. Don't forget some slippers, a couple pens and some reading/puzzles etc. You'll be doing lots of sleeping so you can heal - and every time you close your eyes the nurse, doc, physio, nutritionist etc will come in.
Happy Healing - sending lots of positive healing intentions your way!

Its exciting isn't it? Im happy for you. As for the pain the worst will be on your left side its where they do all the manipulating. First time you get up to walk just remember to breathe . I was holding my breath at first and the nurse told me to breathe. Walking is great but take it easy at first. Other than that enjoy the ride and see you on the bench.
My goodness - it seems like only yesterday that you were worried about starting Optifast!
Bring VERY little. I totally overpacked. Bring your own pillow if you want, skip the blanket. Good walking shoes or slippers. Toothbrush and paste. Hairbrush. Undies. That's about it!
First week - hmmm... first 3 day**** by a truck. Remainder of 1st week, got better and better each day. You'll be just fine. :)
