What do I need to pack?



Recommended Posts

I'm so busy, I haven't really had time to think about what I need to take to the hospital with me. I have:

Slippers

Nightwear

Underwear

Clothes to wear home

Toothbrush & toothpaste

Baby wipes

Vaseline for dry lips

What else do I need?

Thanks :-)

You won't need most of that since you'll be sleeping a lot. Of all the things I packed, I only used:

Toothbrush & toothpaste

hairbrush

phone charger

chap stick

crossword puzzle book

Wore the same clothes home as I wore coming in since I only had them on for an hour or so. I just wore a comfy jogging jacket and pants.

Good luck on your new adventure!

I really did not pack to much because i knew my stay wouldn't be long....I basically brought myself, tooth brush & tooth paste, panties nighty and the clothes I wore which were leggings and a tshirt (which was clean) and my flip flops...

Good Luck to you :)

I took: Clean underwear, pajamas, socks, slippers, hair brush, tooth brush, tooth paste, hand sanitizer, cell phone, book, laptop, journal (for writing food), clothes for wearing home... and I think that was it. Honesly I never once used my laptop or a book .I slept almost the whole time. The essentials are the personal care items and clothes. also remember, most hospitals have extra tooth brushes, tooth paste, chapstick, etc if you forget. :)

Thanks Molly :-) When is your date? Good ideas from everyone. Bet I take stuff to read and watch and never even get it out of the bag. Not looking forward to the next couple of days but looking forward to the end of a fight I've been having all my life :-) x

      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!
