I wouldn't pack either, if you are just going to hospital I would wear their gowns, they are just going to be poking and prodding on you. Besides one less thing to decontaminate when you return home.

I was more comfortable in my own clothes. I'd recommend sleep pants and an oversized t-shirt.

I bought pj's with me, but ended up staying in the hospital gown. Between the IV's, the drain and all the other crap it was easier to stay in the hospital gown, but I did end up wearing my pj's home.

Two piece pj's. Even at the hotel it is easier for your tummy and more comfortable I think.

I would recommend pj's or sweats, 2 piece because they often come in to check your incisions and drain and it's much nicer to just pull up your shirt then having to hike your nightshirt up all the way.

For me I wore the hospital gowns in the hospital but pulled on an oversized pair of sweatpants when I wanted to walk the halls. Didn't want to worry about the booty hanging out lol I just pushed the front down under my belly so it didn't rub on anything. They also had big pockets which were great for putting the drain in when walking. Whatever you bring I definitely recommend pockets for that reason.

Since I had another 2 nights in the hotel after leaving the hospital I just lived in a comfy t-shirt and those big sweatpants. I had a hard time finding a good pair in the womens section so I just hit the mens section and found a great drawstring pair plenty big enough to give me comfort room while the belly was healing. I packed that set of clothes and something nice to wear just in case we wanted to go anywhere or go down and eat in the hotel.

I brought 3 nightgowns, and was so happy to have a clean fresh nighty to change into.

      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.

      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.
