What should I pack?



Recommended Posts

I am away in college and will be coming home tomorrow & I will be staying home for a week before I return to school.

I will be home for almost a week & a half.

What are a good idea of things to take home with me and the hospital? Although I'll be there for one day..

A dress in case you don't tolerate the waist band of your pants. Charger for your phone. Clean undies for day going home. shoes to walk the halls. If you have any meds, bring them. That's it. Time goes fast. You phone and tv will occupy you.

1 day? See, i dont like the fact that for the same surgery, so many drs have so many different rules. My surgery was last tuesday at 7am. They repaired a small hernia while in there but his schedule was 1st day surgery, iv fluids only, and lots of walking. 2nd day morning upper gi to make sure sleeve didnt leak, and i was then given 1oz cups of Water all day, lots of walking. 3rd day introduced juice, Jello plenty of walking. Home the next morning. And i appreciated the fact that he takes the time to introduce each step to make sure hes not sending you home to figure it out. Hell, 1 day may as well be a outpatient surgery. Youre not even taking anything by mouth the 1st day to make sure theres no leakage. But ok. 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.
