Hi Guys, my surgery is scheduled for the 27th. It will be outpatient and we have a 2 hour drive home. What should I wear home? Should I borrow my sister in laws Moo Moo? ;)

I wore a lose fitting dress home myself. My ride home was over an hour. So I wanted to be comfortable.

I wore a pajama set and slippers. It was nice and loose and it worked out well for my drive home which was about an hour and a half.

sweatpants a camisole from LB (ditched the bra to due to staples) sweatshirt over camisole.

Slip on shoes

But my Or date was in Dec and it was cold out I still got the sweatshirt i wore home it is way to big now(it looks like a tent)

Comfort is the most important thing Driving home can be wierd but thankfuly you will have help to get you home and safely in a comfortable spot to recover. Good luck on your impending surgery

I wore a sweat shirt and sweat pants I had one and half hour drive and I took pain meds as I got in the car and slept for the 11/2 hour drive Then slept when I got home and lived in jammmies for the next 4 days. I stayed one night in the hospital and thought I would die nurse didn't bring pain meds and then knocked me out. The next day we stayed in a motel because we needed to b e near the Dr . and then came home . I slept most of the time . I knock out after pain meds, my husband likes it that way no whining.

Keep it loose and comfortable. No pressure on your incisions or your abdomen.

Thank you, Thank you! The only time I've been in the hospital was to have my tonsils out (when I was 21!) and to give birth 4 times. So this will be my first real cut open experience. I ESP love the pillow between the seat belt idea! THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
