I am sure they will, I didn't go to Kelly though so I am not 100%. I forgot to bring a hot Water bottle for my tummy so remember that! It would have helped so much with soreness. Bring some comfy pants so you can walk without flashing everyone like I did for he first day :unsure:

I hope all goes well for you!

I know it two ladies that went to Dr Kelly, & yes, there are hospital gowns provided. One lady said she took two moo moos a sweat suit flip flops sports bras and comfy panties. They went shopping one day and she just threw a light short sleeved swrater over the moo moo.

Yes, the hospital Dr. Kelly is at provides gowns. I think I got the tip from someone on this board (maybe elsewhere, can't remember) to wear two: one that tied in the front and one in the back so I didn't have to be worried about being 'covered up.' Worked perfectly! After my showers the nurses knew to always bring me two ;)

Good luck to you.

The gowns I used were huge so I'm assuming that they'd fit someone up to about 350lbs. If you are larger, you could do what terrapin suggested. I also brought a robe because we all know how cold hospitals can be.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
