Surgery date on Monday



Recommended Posts

Advice please! My surgery is on Monday what are things I need or should pack for the hospital.
Thank you!


I remember I packed a pair of warm socks because it can be cold in the hospital room. And a pair of slippers that way I could walk around and my tooth brush and some tooth paste. And a change of clothes so when I went home. You’re gonna be sore and in some pain and be uncomfortable but it’ll be worth if. You got this! This is just the beginning of the journey but the results will be worth it!

I also made sure to pack any Necessary paperwork you need for the hospital and I made sure to have my hair braided so that way I didn’t have to worry about it

Awesome! Thank you for the feedback... I am so darn nervous but know it’s for the better. I anticipate to have my hair braided. Thank you!

They should have a lot of prewarmed blankets, demand them if they don't offer. I don't know about you but I'm taking sweatpants for my bottom half and one of my knitted poncho things to wrap around my shoulders since my arms will probably have IVs and there may be wires etc attached to my sweet self. [emoji40][emoji39][emoji73]Easter Bunny[emoji195] and I say good luck for your tomorrows and heal healthy!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
