Surgery day--what to take with me?



Recommended Posts

My surgery date is coming up 6/26/13

Im curious as to what I should take with me...

What should I pack in my overnight bag?

I know I need Gas X strips and my cellphone/charger...

What about toiletries?

What should I wear? A comfy summer dress? or just yoga pant and t shirt?

I would love some feedback!

Thanks

I wore tshirt and stretchy pants. I put underwear and pants on when I came out of surgery to feel better. I took Chapstick because I hate having dry lips. Took my favorite blanket because the "towels" they call blankets in our area hospitals are ridiculous. Took my bed pillow too. Took toothpaste/toothbrush so I could brush teeth (rinse mouth) since so many complained of dry mouth.

The best thing I took??? Lol.... Ear plugs to not wake up when someone walked in my room! :) I got lots of sleep thanks to those little suckers. I took baby wipes and deodorant too. I couldn't take a bath... But when it's your TOM, it's nice to clean up!! :)

Along with phone/charger... Everything fit nicely in my little bag.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

I wore a big comfy tee shirt and pj bottoms. I wore the same thing home. You won't need much as you probably wont feel like doing make up and hair.< /p>

      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! 😞
