I am sure they will, I didn't go to Kelly though so I am not 100%. I forgot to bring a hot Water bottle for my tummy so remember that! It would have helped so much with soreness. Bring some comfy pants so you can walk without flashing everyone like I did for he first day :unsure:

I hope all goes well for you!

I know it two ladies that went to Dr Kelly, & yes, there are hospital gowns provided. One lady said she took two moo moos a sweat suit flip flops sports bras and comfy panties. They went shopping one day and she just threw a light short sleeved swrater over the moo moo.

Yes, the hospital Dr. Kelly is at provides gowns. I think I got the tip from someone on this board (maybe elsewhere, can't remember) to wear two: one that tied in the front and one in the back so I didn't have to be worried about being 'covered up.' Worked perfectly! After my showers the nurses knew to always bring me two ;)

Good luck to you.

The gowns I used were huge so I'm assuming that they'd fit someone up to about 350lbs. If you are larger, you could do what terrapin suggested. I also brought a robe because we all know how cold hospitals can be.

      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! 😞
