So, I am just waiting for insurance. I am done with my weight loss trial and stuff. I was told today there are plenty of June appointments left... Ah! I am so excited!!! Any thoughts or suggestions on preparation for hospital stay and when I first get home?

Walk sleep drink, repeat, oh, take drugs as needed!! Really make sure you have plenty of Clear liquids, plenty of your chosen Protein. Believe it or not, it just all falls into place

At the hospital the only thing I needed was chap stick and entertainment. Honestly. A pillow from home might have been nice, the stupid hospital bed made my back hurt.

For home, Like SoccarMamma said, liquid, and Protein. some slip on shoes, if you intend on walking outside. Find a place where you can be comfortable, I couldn't sleep in my bed for the first couple of days, it was difficult to get in and even worse to get out.

And it's true, everything does kinda fall in to place.

If you have any questions feel free to ask!

For me in the hospital all i used were underwear socks toothbrush/toothpaste blistex/ chapstick a hairbrush ( i forgot a pony tail holder cuz normally i don't use one but laying in a hospital bed i needed one so they gave me a rubber band which worked but broke my hair) my phone and charger and i wore the same clothes home i wore there since i didn't have them on long lol when i got home the only thing i wish i had was an abdominal binder it took me a week to realize if i used a towel to pull my tummy toward me it helped alot! A heating pack but for me it helps most on my back and Protein drinks

Awesome! I got a voicemail today saying I had been approved!!! So I will definitely remember all these things! Thanks for the advice. Ill need as much as I can get!!!
