What do you normally take when you stay in the hospital after surgery?? My last class is next Wednesday and I talked to the gentleman at my Dr office because I haven't heard back about my edg to get it done and he said he could put me on the schedule for August 26 at 8 am he said he sees my last class is next wed I said yes sir he goes well I will submit all your paperwork to your insurance and if everything goes well we will do your gastric bypass on the same day as the edg I'm so freaking stoked right now!!! Prayers and positive thoughts and vibes would be greatly appreciated

They sell it online or your local Walmart or cvs shoukd have it

I found it at walmart next to the mouth wash in the toothpaste isle , I got that and found there was also TheraBreath lozenge's for a couple of buck so I grabbed a back to try.

Can you have "lozenges" after surgery??

I was going to ask the same thing. Tomorrow is the day and I'm nervous

All I needed was clean undies, Chapstick, and my outfit for going home. I do recommend bringing a phone charger, just in case. I didn't need mine. My hospital actually provided Chapstick, but I would have been sad if I had left it. I had trouble concentrating to read, so I didn't read my book at all.

For women, Aunt Flo loves to show up during times of stress. The hospital will happily get you a pad if you need one, but bring your own if you prefer.

You also need ID, insurance card, and a way to pay your copayment if needed.

Ditto on the chap stick! That's the one thing I used a lot!! The nurse gave me lozenges because my throat actually hurt more than my stomach. Apparently the entubation can irritate your throat.

I'm not sure, I don't see why not. we would only be sucking on them. But I am going to ask first for sure. They where very inexpensive so I grabbed them. The spay tastes like you ate toothpaste lol. The lozenges I think are orange which sondes more pleasant.

So now that I am on the other side the things I found invaluable were:

Phone and charger (lots of loved ones checking in which was nice)

Biotene spray

Chapstick

Earbuds (there was a woman across the hall moaning all night and calling for her daughter. Very sad but between the morphine and ear buds she sounded much further away)
