What Should I Take To The Hospital?

[redheadmom1103 10]

My surgery is Tuesday and I've been getting together what I think I'll need for my stay. Gas x strips, mouth spray, extension cord for cell charger, besides the normal toiletries. Am I forgetting anything?

Slippers and a robe. Most important to walk walk walk after surgery to get rid of the gas pain. Good luck to you, you don't need much at all. I was just sleeved on Monday. Good luck.

If you are on a CPAP machine be sure and take it or they will send you back for it. Take some big, stretchy pants to wear home. Good luck!

There is a whole thread on here dedicated to "what you will need for VSG surgery." Check out the main page of the forums.

Good Luck!

I way over packed don't make my mistake lol because then I had this giant bag to lug home and I didn't even use 95 percent of it. I bought PJs, a robe, Shampoo and deodorant (though they had a shower in my room but I was in way too much pain to use it) tooth brush. Didn't use any of it. They have me a basket with tooth brush wash rags etc things like that. They give you socks. The only things I used from my bag where chap stick, a hair tie my phone and iPod charger. That was it. Don't over pack lol

Oh but I WISH I had packed an eye mask!!! I was in recovery for the first 24 hours and could have used a mask because it was so bright. Might be helpful.
