So in 24 hrs I will be admitted into the hospital - let the journey begin. I'm nervously excited! How long did you stay in the hospital? Did you bring any specialty items to the hospital. I just want to feel prepared at home too - other than chicken broth what else do people have for the liquid diet weeks.

They did my sleeve as an outpatient so I can not tell you what to bring. They had everything I needed when I came out of recovery. However, I just wanted to let you know I am praying a successful procedure over you and a wonderful new journey ahead!! It's one of the best things I've ever for myself!

Good luck to you tomorrow. Wishing you a quick and easy recovery!

good luck with your surgery tomorrow. Just get some rest and try to walk when you can. Most hospital stays are under 3 days.

Hi I'm 3 days post op and I stayed one night in the hospital. I'm feeling good have some gas pains and it hurts a bit when I swallow and it hits my stomach but it's because of the gas. I slept so good in my bed last night! God Bless you all

Good Luck to you!!! Will keep you in my prayers! I go in on Monday. Keep us posted on your recovery.

Thanks so much for replying Stephanie, really the comfort of strangers!

Plenty of Water. PLENTY. Juices will taste like syrup, so water will be on your friend. Also, lying down flat is no longer an option for me, so a good support pillow will be a life saver! God Bless

The only items I used for my 3 day stay at the hospital was a robe, my chapstick, and my phone charger. The clothes I wore to the hospital I wore home. (Except for my underwear) LoL. Good luck to u.

prayers for you for a wonderful success with no complications!

i was told to bring non-slip footies/slippers, toothbrush/paste, lotion, chapstick, hairbrush, and anything i felt necessary to get through 48 hr admission.

best of luck!!!
