What did you take the hospital?



Recommended Posts

Yep I'm packing my bags.. tomorrow's the big day... Any and all suggestions of what you took or wish you'd had for your surgery. I have to be in the hospital for three days after if that matters.

I haven't had my sleeve surgery yet, but I have 2 gastric band surgeries, I brought my pillow and some comfy pajamas, I couldn't wait to get out of that hospital gown! Other than the usual toiletries(hairbrush, toothbrush), i brought a few other things(iPad, books) but didn't end up using any of them, mostly slept, sat with visitors and watched tv...lol

I brought:

Own pillow from home

Phone and charger

Toothbrush and toothpaste

Kobo

comfy PJ pants (just wore the johnny shirt on top)

hair elastic

Slippers

chapstick

That's all I ended up using, and I was in hospital for three days and three nights as well. Anything else that I needed the hospital provided (face cloths, towels, Shampoo, soap, etc) I wore a baggy t shirt and sweatpants going in, and just wore the same clothes the day I went home. Good luck with your surgery!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
