Surgery Tomorrow!!!

[Julia]

Tomorrow is my surgery day (getting Roux-en-Y gastric bypass). Any last minute advice?

Congratulations!!! Remember to rest and drink your fluids-it is difficult to get them in but extremely important!!! DO NOT push yourself allow your body to heal, you will do great. I am 4 weeks out and that was my biggest mistake not allowing my body to rest and recoup. Take good care and keep us posted

You can do it!!! Rest, sip, and walk around after the surgery. Relax and let your body heal while you sip sip sip your fluids. Follow your Team's instructions and you will do fine. If you have any questions, etc-ask your Team- that is what they are there for.

Julia-By now you are resting in your room. When you are released to return home just make sure to get PLENTY of rest and to sip as much fluid as you possibly can even if you don't feel like it. Just take small sips every few minutes. It's like the old question "how do you eat an elephant?" and the answer is "one bite at a time." Except we are talking about fluids here which will seem like a big elephant for a while. I'm sure you'll do fine. Let us know how you are doing when you get a chance.
