Hi all! Its getting close to my surgery date. 12/29/12 I'm a little scared and excited. What should I bring to the hospital? I know ppl say comfy clothes like do u mean a night dress or will that get in the way or comfortable pants and shirt? I never had surgery so help please... lol

Just something comfy to go home in and chap stick is all I really used that I took. I wouldn't take a bunch of stuff you won't need. If your not sleeping you are up walking. Take care and keep us posted :-)

You need nothing. I brought all this stuff and never oppened the bag. You are drugged up and if you are not sleeping you are walking. You have an IV all the while you are there so even a robe can not be put on. You need like a pair of sandles with a hard sole to walk in. Slides that are easy to put on. That is it.

I took my toothbrush, socks and slippers. Something comfy to wear home. Brought my regular meds, but didn't take while there anyway. Maybe a book to read.

Good Luck

      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! 😞
