Seller's description

Your surgery date is set — now what? Between the appointments, the paperwork and the hospital bag, the weeks before bariatric surgery can feel like a second job. This kit puts the whole preparation in one calm, printable place, so nothing depends on memory or sticky notes.

The Bariatric Pre-Op Prep Kit was created by someone who actually had gastric sleeve surgery in 2021 — and who wished a kit like this had existed back then.

WHAT'S INSIDE (14 pages, A4):
• Pre-Op Timeline — a week-by-week checklist, from 4 weeks before surgery to the day itself
• Questions for Your Surgeon — 16 questions to take to your appointments, with space for the answers
• Notes from My Appointments — write answers down while they're fresh
• Hospital Bag Checklist — documents, clothes, hygiene and comfort, sorted by category, plus a "ready at home" list
• The Pre-Op Diet page — general information about the liver-reduction diet many teams use, with space to write YOUR team's plan in your own words
• Pre-Op Weekly Planner — one week on a page: meals, drinks, appointments and notes
• Mental Readiness — your "why", what you're looking forward to, your fears, and who is in your corner
• A Letter to Myself — to open after surgery, on a day you need it
• Notes pages — for everything else

WHO IT'S FOR
• You're booked for gastric sleeve, gastric bypass or another bariatric procedure
• You like checklists and want the preparation out of your head and onto paper
• You keep thinking of questions for your surgeon — usually at 3 a.m.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Purchase and download instantly after checkout (no physical item is shipped)
2. Read it on your phone, tablet or computer — or print it at home (A4)
3. Work through it a little at a time, tick the boxes, and take the questions page to your appointments

A NOTE ON THE PRE-OP DIET
Protocols differ a lot between surgical teams, so this kit deliberately does NOT give you a diet to follow. It explains the general idea and gives you space to keep your own team's written plan in one place. Your team's plan is always the one that wins.

ABOUT THE CREATOR
I'm Mihail, founder of BariatricShopRo. I had gastric sleeve surgery in 2021, after reaching 165 kg. Everything in this shop was first made for my own journey — then shared, so yours can be a little easier.

IMPORTANT
This kit is an educational planning tool. It is not medical advice and does not replace the guidance of your surgical team. Protocols vary between teams and patients — educational only, always follow your surgical team.
