From reading previous post others suggest you bring chap stick and Gas X dissolve strips. Good Luck with your surgery.

I've heard a lot of people say a heating pad. Don't hospitals have them?

On my list is ear plugs and eye mask, my own pillow, Chapstick, headphones and charger for my phone/iPod.

What all the above said and I suggest checking the post in this thread "What do you need for your surgery" for more helpful suggestions. Pack light, you won't need much. :)

I brought a change of clothes, my iPhone and a charger. I didn't need much, between sleeping, walking, drinking and visitors I didn't gave time for much else. Best wishes :)

As I glanced past this, I thought it said, "pack a light lunch." LOL

Slippers and ties for your hair. Maybe mouthwash.

I REALLY need to get my eyes checked... I thought this one said, "strippers." Eesh!

Gas strips, robe, slippers, tooth brush, cell phone charger, portable vaporizer. (Sometimes nurses are jerks and try to cut off pain meds after one day.)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
