So my RNY Bypass is coming up on May 23, 2017. Any last minute advice? I'm excited and nervous.

    Congratulations! The start of amazing changes coming your way. Last minute advice, Take a small pillow to place between you and your seatbelt on the car ride home.

    I was so glad I had biotin mouth rinse before and after surgery! My mouth was so dry and just a little bit of it really helped. Also, even though most of the gas after surgery isn't in the GI tract, gas X helped with some gas that was in my stomach. I had a little of both kinds, so I was glad I had the gas x strips, even though people said they didnt work. Chapstick was a must, also.

    You guys are going to do great! So exciting...keep us posted! :)

    Also scheduled for sleeve surgery on the 31st. I look forward to hearing how you all are doing by the time I go in. I'm definitely nervous as well, but I think it's only natural. Good luck to all.

    Surgery is tomorrow. I haven't really been nervous until now. I can't wait for this part to be over.

    You will do great! I'm so anxious about it. I bought my chewable vitamins today and I'm getting everything ready for surgery tomorrow.

    @MrsCarrieRobinson and @Mandy_1982 you will both do great! Remember it is natural to be anxious but this will be over before you know it!
