What did you take to hospital?



Recommended Posts

I'm having RNY on 11/13. What are things I should take with me? My surgery is in another town and I will be alone so I just want to make sure I don't forget anything!

I've posted this before. It's based on a combined document that was created in the forums awhile back that I found. I don't think I'll bring everything on this list, but it gives me a good starting place. <<make sure you're logged in so you can open the attachment>>

I took all the usual things. I took 3 changes of nighties and undies. Didn't end up needing the nighties wore hospital gowns. I took shampoo/conditioner toothbrush toothpaste soap moisturising face wipes, moisturiser and lip balm. I found the face and lips got very dry. I also took my phone and charger. Little bit of cash which I didn't need because the hospital asks for $25 to cover all incidentals such as Wi-Fi, Pay TV newspaper etc. Other than the above the two other important things were non slip shoes or slippers and any current medications.

Chapstick, pony tail, glasses, phone charger, comfy stretchy pants to wear home post op. You won't be there long enough to really need much and I was too miserable to watch tv or read our anything.

Lip balm and Biotene spray were the most important things I took. I bought the Biotene the night before based on a recommendation here, and it was a lifesaver.

I used nothing I brought, except a blanket from home. I was very tired a lot of the time and when I was up I tried to walk. Watched a lot of hgtv

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
