What to bring to the hospital?



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!

I'm being sleeved on 10/28 and I wanted to see if there were any suggestions on what to bring to the hospital. I'll be staying at least a night. I'm bringing a set of comfy clothes, toothbrush, hair brush, some gas-x strips.. is there anything that I might not be thinking of?

I'm so excited, but also kind of nervous.

You will need very little. Comfortable clothes to wear there and home. Slippers for walking a little. Toothbrush/toothpaste. The more you take the more you have to unpack. I slept and walked a little the 8 hours I was there. Good luck!!!

I spent the night, and I found that I didn't really need much of what I packed. The hospital provided slippers for walking, and they asked me to wear the hospital gown the entire time. I did brush my teeth before I headed home the next morning.

I over packed, should have taken as little as possible. All I really needed was clothes to go home in, toothbrush, chapstick, hairband and my own slippers.

All I used:

An extra pair of underwear to wear home.

Biotene spray.

Lip balm.

A heating pad.

A pillow for the ride home.

My mom.

The hospital provided everything else I needed.

I'll be staying two nights after my surgery and wasn't planning on bringing much besides underwear, toothbrush/toothpaste, a pair of comfy pajamas and chapstick. One less thing to worry about the day of.

My dr requires three nights hospital stay and also places a Blake drain during surgery to check for leaks / the hospital I'm using has zero record of leaks - the Blake drain will get taken out a week after surgery

A dress of some sort in case you don't tolerate the waisted band of pants. I wore a dress for first 5 days no undies no bra because it bothered me so much. A phone charger. Hospital should supply the rest

      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.
