I am 10!days away from surgery and I am so excited and cannot wait! I am trying to make sure I have everything I need by then. What all do I need to take with me when I go in for surgery?

9 days for me!! I'm so excited! I'd recommend chapstick (only because others have told me) If you are out patient like me then I just needed the basics until I got home! Best wishes to you! July band buddy!

If you are large chested I recommend a sports bra. I have heard some docs rec against them but mine was fine with it so long as the band didn't press on any incisions. Without it, one of my breasts was pressing on an incision and causing lots of discomfort. The bra helped a lot.

I gave very comfy underwire bras, are they a no-no? just wondering if I need to buy a sports bra.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
