I had to use the hospital gowns, and didn't wear any of my clothes until the day I left. The gowns are plenty large. I did ask for a second gown I could put on so that I could walk the halls and not worry about my booty making an appearance....so I doubled up and walked.....in the ever so attractive, stockings, IV pole, and double gown....yay!

With Dr. Rod there was no worries on gown sizes. I think since we were all getting wls it would be silky of them to not have large gowns on hand. And after surgery I honestly didn't care what I looked like. That was the last thing on my mind lol.. I just made myself take my walks so I could go back to sleep. The only reason I even put shorts on was so could look at my stomach easier. If you buy a gown it will be a waste of money. I'm one month post op and I'm already down 27lbs. I brought a robe with me and never even used it. If you are going to take anything with you make it gas-x strips and a heating pad.

Those are so pricey. I would think you could buy a cotton nightgown and have a tailor cut open the back and sew in ties for a lot less.

Are you crafty at all? I can't imagine they'd be difficult to make-- just some fabric, snaps at the shoulders, ties at the back? the above idea is a good one too.

If you wanna get fancy I'd check out Etsy-- they have SUCH a cute selection. I totally love =tags&%3Bincludes[1]=title"]this one, can't bring myself to spend the money on it though.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      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.
