Hey Everyone, I'm new to the forum and my sleeve surgery is scheduled for the first week in April. I was hoping to get some advice on what your post op hospital stay was like? The hospital I am going to is about an hour away from home so we wont be able to come back and forth. My husband is going to stay with me the whole time. What advice do you have on what to pack for me and him? How long did you stay at the hospital? Did you have visitors? Anybody have a longer ride home? Just trying to get some ideas since we will be farther away. Thank you! This forum has already given me such great ideas and advice to help calm some of my nerves.

My hospital isn't too far from my home. I only had to stay one night. I would be sure to bring a change of clothes for the next day, something to keep you occupied, like a tablet, book, or magazines, toothbrush and toothpaste. I had a couple of visitors, but I wasn't a big fan of visitors, because I was very uncomfortable from the gas. So, I preferred being by myself.
