3pm is my time and i'm getting nervous.

i didn't sleep much last night and it's after midnight and i'm still up tonight.

i have to spend the night so i've already packed - too much i'm guessing lol

what do you bring for an over night in the clinic?

i know they'll have me up and walking so i'm bringing my comfy pj bottoms but will sleep in shorts

i'll be glad when it's all over and i'm bitching about the pain. at least i'll know that my new life has begun and i'm leaving my old life behind.:thumbup::thumbup::)

Good Luck!

I also spent the night in the hospital.

I didnt really bring much with me. I brought a pair of shorts to wear under my gown while I was walking around the hospital, and pajama pants to wear when i was going home.

I brought my toothbrish and toothpaste and a book to read, but I really didnt have time to read because of the walking, and when I was in bed, I was drifting in and out of sleep because of the morphine. I was literally taking a sip of Water, then falling asleep with the Water still in my mouth while spilling the rest of it down the front of me. That happened like 12 times.

Dont take any valuables with you. i brought my cell phone so that my mom could contact people to let them know how i did, but other than that, I didnt bring anything else.

Good Luck again!!!!!

you are right, it has been VERY hot here the past few weeks. What made you decide to come to Richmond?

originally it was the route my mil said they used to take when they drove to florida in the 70's to avoid the mountians in the winter but i don't think we were on the right route.

we thought we'd head over there and check out the route in the summer.

so we spent 4 days in richmond 2 in savannah and a week in disney world.

i think if we drive to florida in the winter we'll stick with our regular 77/79 route and just go straight down

      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! 😞
