Your surgeon should've already told you if you'd be expected to stay overnight. What did he say?

Maybe I should rephrase that. . . .Are there non typical things that will make my night and travel home more comfortable.

Aside of my own toothbrush, comfy clothes etc.

Got it! I probably misread...hunger is making me faint (almost dinner time here LOL)

A pillow to brace your surgical sites on ride home

lip gloss or balm because your lips will be really dry

easy slip on shoes (you'll be up walking A LOT)

A comfortable bra, easy on shirt (some like button up but over the head worked fine for me) and pants/skirt

liquid tylenol for at home (not the hosp)

Mp3 player

good book or some magazines

hair brush

If you wear contacts they'll make you remove them before surgery even if they are the kind you can wear for a week (or whatever) and then discard...just be warned

most of this you probably already know

good luck!

I bet you are VERY excited! :)

Thank you to everybody!!

I just am afraid that I'll be the one that looses 20# in a year. . . the one that nobody will ever notice. Or it will take a year to hit my sweet spot!

I'm just starting to freak out. I had a nightmare last night that I woke up from surgery two times bigger than I am now!

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
