Don't stress on what to take to the hospital because you won't even use half of it. All you need is underware, slippers, pants to walk the hall in (you don't want your butt to show) and extra big clothes for the car ride home. Oh and don't forget your toothbrush. Good Luck

Take some chapstick or lip balm (they'll be really dry) and also a book to read, or MP3 player. Wear easy on/off shoes (you won't want to bend over long enough to tie them) and a pillow for the ride home (to brace your surgical sites. Really helps) brush, comb...glasses case if needed (don't wear contacts if you do, they'll make you take them out) toothbrush clean undies (you'll wear their gown) Good luck!

OH and the bag is adorable! :lol:

A good book to read, MP3 player when you want to listen to your favorite songs. Tooth brush, comb, a pair of comfortable slipper and a dress to wear. That will do for now.

Melly obviously it isn't an outpatient procedure for everyone...and most insurance companies consider it "outpatient" if you are there less than 24 hours (which can mean you are there 23 hours). Some people stay overnight; some if complications arise stay longer. Some docs REQUIRE an overnight stay just to be on the safe side. We're all different.

Hi, I agree with everyone. toothbrush, chapstick, pillow for ride home, slip on shoes, undies, brush and maybe a cell phone? I stayed overnight and your very sleepy for the most part so you'll probably not need much else. Good Luck.

      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.
