Your pillow for sure. If you have a body pillow take that too it is good for supporting your belly. That was all I used. I honestly didn't brush my teeth for three days, gross I know, but I was so nauseous there was no way I was sticking a toothbrush in my mouth. Good luck to you!!

Twinmomma422 - pillow, toothbrush and toothpaste, deodorant and maybe chapstick. I wore my own panties and they provided everything else. I was only there one night and was told to wear comfy clothes in that I could wear home. hydrate as late as possible!

Hooray! Keep us posted with the progress and good luck! I hope it's a smooth process for you:)

I haven't had mine yet but I have read that Chapstick is good.. Dry mouth and lips I guess!

Hey there. Just had my surgery 9/2 and the main things I actually used were pajamas, lots of undies, TAMPONS or PADS. Pads are much easier. My period hit the day after surgery and I had just had it 2 weeks prior. It was heavy too! Gas X quick dissolve strips, slippers with non slip tread and deodarant. Nothing else I took, I needed. Good luck and let us know how it goes!!!!

How long will you be in the hospital? I was only over night, but anymore than that I agree with Vanessa. Bring Tampons/pads. I got my period 2 days after as well, not expected, very heavy and has lasted for two weeks now.

Good luck with your surgery! Definitely a firm pillow, comfy clothes, and pads. I wasn't expecting the gift of my period either the day after surgery!

Thank you ladies!!! I thought my body was working against me. My period started about 10 days early too. 3 days after surgery. I was pissed. I didn't expect to have to deal with that yet. Uugh. I have my followup tomorrow and I think I'll mention it as something to warn others about. What a relief to know I'm not alone! Crazy stuff.

      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! 😞
