I did that too but you'll have catheter/folly the first day and then an IV the whole time you're there so you own clothes can be tricky. I did wear pajama shorts after my folly came out. I mean I'll wear short sleeves.. And like Lon pajama pants but the first day I guess I'll have to wear a gown but once that catheter is out .. I'm changing lol -

tammie30 replied to tammie30's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yikes loll.. Every single day I must shower 2 times a day.. So I have to shower there as well I pla. On walking as much as possible so I won't get clots. Those are very dangerous. Even when I go home I'll walk 2 times a day for 30 minutes each -

Lol, I have my period right now. I'm getting surgery hopefully end of June.. Or early July. -
starting my journey....again
tammie30 replied to supremeh's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did the same thing. I didn't tell anyone in my family no one knows about my surgery except for my husband, my mother and siblings. Other than that no one else. It'll be a surprise. This is a major step and it's something very special. I didn't want anyone to ruin or steal my shine for myself. So I kept it to myself. I'll know when the time is right -

I'll take my phone and iPad ( hope the hospital has wifi ) my own towel and blanket. I sleep with a specific blanket lol ( they better crank that ac all the way up ) I'm so existed my surgery is late June early July.. But they didn't put me on a pre op diet -

A very close friend of mine did the lap band 6 years ago.. She just lost weight. It's really not worth it, why don't you go with the sleeve ? With the lap hand you gain the right too -
