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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
