I've finally been approved for my sleeve surgery I am sooo excited. I'm schedule for surgery on July 9th and will be spending one night in the hospital. I would like to know from you guys who have already done the surgery 1. What did you pack for hospital stay and 2. Things u know now you wish persons had told you before surgery. Thanks

Congratulations! I also spent one night in the hospital and I brought a bunch of stuff I really didn't need. When I wasn't up walking, I was knocked out asleep.

The things I actually used were:

comfy pajamas

slippers (or those socks with little pads on the bottom. They gave these to me in the hospital but I wore my own slippers instead)

hair brush

toothbrush & toothpaste

chapstick

Things I wish I knew before:

It will be hard to drink even a little bit of Water but give it 100%. Plenty of Water will make it much easier to go #2 when the time comes. Trust me, you don't want to make this any harder than it has to be. Miralax was my best friend for 3 weeks post op.

Good luck! I'm almost 9 months post op so feel free to message me if you have any other questions about what the early months are like

Thank you so much. I don't want to buy a bunch of unnecessary items.

1. I packed toiletries a change of clothes flip flops and comfortable socks and most importantly*I believe* my teddy Bear❤ he helped a lot with the healing and pressure way better than a pillow. 2. I didn't know how hormonal I would be or that I would be able to feel my whole digestive process lol oh and Hair loss I didn't know about that either

Congrats
