Have to be at hospital in 14 hours!



Recommended Posts

Ack! What should I bring with me? Wanted to bring my iPad but too scared it'd get stolen. Sweatpants? T-shirts? Toothpaste? I've never stayed in a hospital before and I guess it's gonna be a 2 day stay.

Plus my nerves are really starting to get the best of me, am I making the right decision? I know I'll feel better once everything is over with, the anticipation is difficult.

Wish me luck everyone!

You're going to do fantastic! Don't take your ipad, things do come up missing sometimes in hospitals. Walk, walk, walk. Let us know how you breezed through it when you can.

Good luck!!

I have to be at the hospital in 13.5 hours and I'm trying to figure out what to take. I know the dr said I'll be able to shower and I'm plannin on loose fitting pj's. I'm starting to panic more than anything. Just last minute jitters. I'm taking a book to read instead of taking my laptop. I am also taking cards so I can play solitare. I'm trying to remember stuff like my cell phone charger. I have been told by more than one person to take my own pillow. I wish you the best of luck :tongue_smilie: Keep us posted. We can swap stories when we're back home :biggrin0:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
