What Should I Pack?



Recommended Posts

A extension cord for your phone charger outlets are never close enough to the bed. Phone charger your own Shampoo and conditioner and extra britches incase your sutures leak. Buy a box of alcohol wipes smelling them helps with nausea

i didn't bring anything! (except DH :lol: )

I wore my sweats so i would feel more comfortable after WLS when i went home

i was in hospital 2 days and nights - i slept, walked, most of the time

i didn't have any desire for cell/smart phone, ipod, computer, book et al- just had major surgery ;)

they supply a nightgown - if you wear your own nightgown, pj's they might get tangled w/IV :(

chap stick is a good idea ^_^

heating pad too

that being said - many people bring the above stuff and alot more - and thats great too, have i confused you yet ;)

there is a thread on the board - what should you bring to hospital

good luck w/WLS

speedy recovery

:)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
