Hey everyone that's already been sleeved. What did you bring with you that is a must have the first few days? I'm going to be a few hours from home so I need to be prepared. BTW, my surgery is outpatient so I won't be in the hospital.

Hello! Since you are outpatient you won't need anything to take into the hospital, but I would leave a pillow in your vehicle for the trip home. I put mine between my belly and the seatbelt for added support on the bumpy ride home, and to protect my incisions from the seatbelt rubbing against them. I can't imagine having it outpatient! Wishing you all the best in your surgery and recovery!

Well, I'm going to be staying close to the surgery center for a few days so I won't be going home immediately.

I spent one night. Was released the afternoon the day after. Hospital stay went well except I wanted to sleep and the nurses came and went all night long! Couldn't wait to get home where I could really relax and sleep undisturbed! Good luck!

@@jennah pennycuff Thank you! Wishing you all the best on your journey as well!

I was also outpatient. My mom and I stayed in a hotel down the road overnight and I went back to visit surgeon next morning to remove drain etc. I would suggest go ahead and have a bottle or two of Water to sip on, slippers, small pillow for between belly and seat belt, and I also took a few extra pillows to help prop me in the hotel bed that first night. Other than that I didn't use anything other than my meds and I slept a lot. If someone is coming with you, have them bring entertainment like a tablet or a book. I think I bored my mom but she had a book during surgery and the tv in the hotel :) good luck!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
