PGee 318 Posted August 1, 2013 Here's a list someone put together: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/10081-the-official-what-you-will-need-for-your-gastric-sleeve-surgery-thread/ Right at the top of the first post there is a word document with a list. (I'm thinking: chapstick, book, cell phone/charger, small pillow, a deck of cards, ear plugs, pad of paper, pencil/pens, maxi dress, case for glasses) I plan on wearing a pair of sandals that slip on....can wear them to/from the hospital and during my stay while walking around. 1 pjknitts reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dhash 8 Posted August 1, 2013 I don't know why but all week at work, I seem to get super tired. The pre-op diet isn't much fun right now. 5 more days till it's sleeve time. I did buy some realtree camo crocs to rock at the hospital. Oh yeah I'm that guy. 7 miss_cee85, ShrinkyDinkMe101, Mocha2871 and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
