My surgery is finally here. Tomorrow is the big day. Im on clear liquids today and already feel dizzy and anxious. I just drank my milk of magnesia. No effects yet. Any last minute advice ?

You will do fine. Remember nobody dies on the table, you will be back with us soon. Don't worry the surgeons these days really know what they are doing, not like the old days. I had NO pain, no sickness and could have gone back to work the next day. Had gall bladder out as well at same time. See you here soon.

mine didnt kick in right away either but if your feeling dizzy try a little apple juice or white grape juice its clear but its got sugar in it maybe your sugars a little low, just a suggestion. thats what i did because when i was just drinking water i felt like i was gonna puke. so good luck hope to hear from you soon and yes get up and walk your gas pressure will go away alot quicker if you do.
As hard as today might be, this will still be the best decision you could have made for yourself. I'm almost 11 yrs out and I still am thankful EVERY day I had this done. It's going to be hard at first but look beyond that to a 3 month goal, 6 month or even farther out. Come here for support and advice and good luck!

In addition to taking pictures, measure yourself. Even when you're not losing weight, you're losing inches. I wished I had done this, but didn't see the suggestion until I was about 4 months out. Also, don't forget to pack lip moisterizer, because you're going to need it in the hospital. Good luck with your surgery.
