I personally dont think you will need a suitcase for your hospital stay... you are not moving into the hospital. My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow and the only i will be taking is my cell phone charger, toothe brush and paste and thats about it. What i wear to the hospital is what I'm leaving in. My girlfriend had the surgery and to be honest she was in no mood or state to even want to put on an eye mask or rob or to knit lol...
Be comfortable and you will be fine.

Hello All!
I'm 2 days shy of being 6months Post Op. Down 73 lbs( including pre op weight lost). I was a size 18 the day of my surgery (Nov 9,2011) and today I am a size 12. Looking forward to my last 47 lbs lost and hoping to be a size 6 or 8.
I've posted a before and after photo in my profile.
Hopefully that's a little motivation for you all

My surgery is next Wednesday Nov 9th and I have 5lbs to lose before then. I've decided to do a full liquid diet starting today until the day of surgery. I want to commit to riding my bike this last week as well at least for 30 minutes to an hour and maybe do some cardio at home.

How's everyone doing?

my dates is scheduled for November 1! Im beyond excited!!!

Hi,
I consider myself a slow loser. I haven't actually reached my goal yet. I'm 47lbs away and im 6 months post op. So far I've lost 73lbs total including pre-op weight lost but 49lbs lost since nov 9th (surgery date).
I just went to see my NP last week and she said I would be able to reach my goal in the next 3-6 months as long as I exercise and eat right.

Sorry but I disagree! there's a shapwear that I wear almost everyday it's called 'Body Magic' this is what the stars wear and it pulls your waist INNNN and slims your thighs a little and also lifts the breast! it's $125-$160 bucks but i found mine on ebay brand new for $75.
I wear a size 18 jeans( i can not wait until my surgery lol) but fit into my 16's when wearing this thing.
Please google or look it up on youtube ladies!
Good Luck and let me know what you think if you try it. :D

I think you are on the right path and losing as expected. You've lost a lot of weight and Im sure it isnt noticable to you but is to others. However you'll be at your goal before you know it. I was 260 when i first started my journey and now Im 218 I can see results when i put on some of my clothing BUT I can still fit into them and it takes me forever to actually drop a pants size but I refuse to beat myself up. I'll continue to look at the scale and go off of that.
Good Luck and take care... Your journey has just begun!

Hi everyone I'm still at the hospital was told I'll be released tomorrow.
I hate pain and I'd say this is probably the hardest prt of this journey. However the surgery went smooth. They said I am doing well.
For any of you whom may follow my other content I lost the 5 lbs as needed prior to yesterday I was 236.2 when I checked in
Look forward to meet size 8 and maybe even 6 if they want to be friends

Hello babigirl nice too meet you and thanks so much i will need it!

I received one as well. As everyone has stated it just a card that simply states the procedure you've had and kindly ask that the resturant allows you to order from the senior/childs menu. I havent used it but plan to after my surgery. I dare the waitress in any resturant not allow me to use it! lol... You can not be forced to order food that you can not consume.

I would only use this at a buffet or places that charge you to split meals. Children's menus are usually crap consisting of hamburger, hot dog, chicken strips, grilled cheese and mac and cheese.< /p>
I don't mind leftovers AT ALL. My plan is to ask for a "doggie bag" immediately, set out my portion and bag the rest. I would give my Soup or salad away - unless I planned to only have a bite or two.
I also keep in mind that the restaurant is under no obligation to accommodate me. Of course, I am under no obligation to return with my family and Yelp would probably hear of it.
