So I got my gastric sleeve surgery approved from my insurance about a month ago . My surgery is scheduled for Monday February 1st I am super nervous. I don't know what what to take with me to the hospital any recommendation on to what's needed and for when I get home what is it that I need to have at home ?

Mine is scheduled February 2nd, and I am nervous too! Not exactly sure yet what I am bringing but definitely some comfy clothes good luck with everything!

i brought a robe to cover my butt when i walked, gas x strips cuz i heard they really help with gas, house shoes. i wore home the same clothes i wore up there. i also brought my phone charger and an extra pair of clothes just in case i needed them, which i did not. the hospital provided body wash and shampoo when i was able to shower.

I brought my favorite soft blanket from home. I was glad that I brought slippers for walks in the hall. Comfy pants for the car ride home, my incisions were at my normal pants waistline.

At home, I had all my Protein shakes that I would need for the next two weeks. I Water bottle that measured how much I was drinking. Good luck!

Congrats your surgery date! You will be great. I just had my sleeve done on 1/21. Here are a few things I would suggest bringing.

• Comfortable clothes. I wore comfy clothes, but also brought some to wear home. I've heard of many people just wearing home the clothes they came in. Up to you!
• Phone/phone charger
• Robe. You will be asked to get up and walk around, so you may want this to cover yourself up. The hospital provided one for me, but it was a bit small.
• Slippers for when you walk the halls
• Something that will bring you comfort. Totally optional, but my husband gave me a stuffed animal and I kept it with me when I stayed overnight.

Best of luck to you!!
