I don't know if you would need that. Why do you think you would need that?

I have sjogren's syndrome and it causes dry mouth, eyes and nose. I use humidifiers in the winter. Having surgery also makes your nose and mouth dry. This takes up about as much room as a coffee mug and thought it might be soothing

Comfy sweats, your tooth brush, hairbrush and socks. Your feet will be freezing. I took my iPad but didn't read too much. But I could face book etc.

I've not been cold since 1985, but I will take warm clothes just in case! I'd hate to shiver with incisions! Plus it is February! I can do anything I wanna do on my phone...that's all the electronics I am gonna take. My bff bought me a travel set of Burt's Bees for hosp...some lotion and lip balm in it. I have super oily hair. I am taking some spray, dry Shampoo.< /p>

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
