Heyyyy guys!!!!After a 2 year journey,I'm finally getting sleeved on Wednesday the 19th!!!I have noooo idea what to pack for the hospital.Any suggestions??

loose loose fitting yoga or sweats... and tee's, or loose pajamas.... slippers... toothpaste toothbrush. Lip moisturizer! Your phone or iPad. Ask the nurses to use adhesive remover on you tape marks before you leave. I still have that mess stuck to my skin but if you forget nail polish remover works too. Picture of you baby or babies if you have any kids Good luck and keep us posted.

Congrats on your date! It's REAL when you have a date huh?

This is basically a repost from another thread... we all have different needs and requirements away from home...BUT this is what lil ole me took to the hospital .....

• Deodarant
• Huggie Baby Wipes ( if you get a catheter you will definitely need these when it comes out)
• Vaseline ( lips are going to be SO dry from no drinking)
• Couple of changes of underwear/socks ( but put the hospital socks on over my personal socks when it was time to get out of bed/walk, etc.
• Cell phone/charger
• Lotion
• Travel toothbrush
• Toothpaste/mouthwash
• Pair of pajamas and very over sized gown (didn't wear either due to the way I felt and IV's, etc. it was just easier to keep on my hospital gown. When it was time to get up and walk I asked for an extra gown to put on as a robe to cover my "opening" in the back.
• Hand towels ( to wash my face)
• Facial cleanser
• Satin or Silk Scarf/Bonnet ( for your tresses) those hospital bonnets are murder...

The hospital supplied me with some of these things but I brought my own because I knew what I wanted, what brand, etc.

Best wishes on your surgery and speedy recovery!!!

Thank you guys sooooo much!!!This was very helpful!!I'll definitely keep y'all posted!

seriously tho... I was in there two days. Don't overpack.... I showered as soon as I got home... I had a foley cuz I was retaining urine. Wet wipes are a good idea to keep you fresh. You won't need much. Do not bring any valuables NONE! Don't bring money or jewelry. That lip moisturizer was a life saver. Wishes you the best in your upcoming journey. This is the year is the year of radical transformations.... get ready!

Wow I'm glad you post this, I'm getting sleeved on the 19th too and wondering the same thing.
