Chapstick, phone charger, your own pillow (aslo to put against your stomach for the bumpy ride home), mouth swabs - your mouth gets so dry. Herbal tea bags for something warm to drink - it helps. Slippers to walk the hallway, a light robe, yoga pants to wear home, sports bra - a regular one was too uncomfortable.

The above. And, I'd also suggest

an eye mask,

pants with a very loose waist band since you won't know where the incisions will hit, slippers,

earbuds and earphones.

I brought a light robe with me, but wasn't able to put it on since I had an IV in my hand, which didn't allow me to put my arm through the sleeve. So, I might suggest a heavy wrap instead. What you really want to make sure of is that your backside is covered. They'll try to get you walking as soon as possible, and those robes are ridiculous.

Phone charger brick.

And, if you like watching things, a tablet of some sort that you can watch. However, I had someone watch my bag until I was back in the room.

Chapstick is a must.

And, something lovely (I brought Olay face clothes) to wash your face with.

Good luck!

      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! 😞
