As Barb said, do some breathing exercises now because it WILL help you in the hospital and it you do well on the breathing exercises it does help you get out of the hospital faster (that's what the nurse told us). It would help if you get all your "food" (liquids) before you go in the hospital (water, cream soups, boullion, vitamins, etc.) This weekend have your favorite meal because it will be a while before you will be able to have something like that. Pat yourself on the back because you're doing something GREAT for yourself. I had my RNY open on 1/8/01 and feel great and so very glad I did it. Good luck and God bless you!
