Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Everyone, I just wanted to thank everyone for all their support and encouragement along the way. My surgery will be at 12:30noon tomorrow at Barix Clinic. WOW!!! I cannot believe how fast the time went,at times it seemed like an eternity. Please keep me in your prayers. I can't wait to see you on the losing side. Any last minute advice or suggestions on what I should bring to the hospital????? Natalie

Hey, Natalie, my surgery is tomorrow at 7:30am. Time did go fast didn't it....I will pray for you and we should keep in touch to see how we fair.......Any suggestions? I suggest ear plugs.....I'm taking them..

Hi Natalie - someone has posted before I had my surgery last Monday to take a lip balm - I was glad I did, because my mouth got really dry between surgery and the lead test before I could drink. I also had packed nightgowns and pajamas and never got out of the hospital gown till the day I left - couldn't take a shower till that day after dr. removed drain so didn't see the point. So other than that, no, my needs were completely met by the hospital while I was there. Best wishes and see you on the losing side! Sylvia

Congratulations and good luck. Wishing you a safe and successful surgery and lots of weight loss on the other side. Sharon

Hi Natalie and ANN; Good luck tomorrow on your surgery,You do not need much as the other posts report.I brought too much also. Chapstick, purrell and slippers were nice. Good luck to all Patsy

Best Wishes Natalie!! All I used was: Comfy Slippers, lotion if you have someone to massage your feet (IT FEELS SO GOOD), toothbrush/paste, brush and hair clips, my own robe and clothes to go home. I also wish I had a big plastic bag. When I went in, they give you a bag to put your clothes in when you change into robe, but I hated putting my shoes in the bag with my clothes. I wish I had a separate bag to put my shoes in first. No biggie. Lisa

good luck and you are in our prayers keep us posted on your recovery.dave
