chapstick!

very baggy underwear

baggy dress or

very baggy very soft pants and oversized top

flip flops

patience :0)

When I left the hospital I was VERY swollen. My underwear was way to tight and it was comfy before I went in. I wish I had had a dress even though I HATE dresses. Chapstick because your lips WILL be dry.

really, nuthin else. Wear the clothes in and out. It will be very hard in the beginning, but it is well worth it.

Good LUCK!

Christy,

I was only in for a little over 24 hours. I wore my loose jeans (loose from pre op diet), I took a back pack with my toothbrush, deodorant, make-up bag and extra pair of panties to wear home. I wore the same clothes home that I wore to the hospital. Keep it simple and good luck. I had no swelling.

Deodorant

Phone and charger

sugar free halls for your dry mouth and bad taste.

The hospital gave me a nice box with everything that you will need.(Toothpaste, toothbrush and etc)

I was there for two days. So I had already taken an extra pair of panties (just in case. And (tmi alert) if you fart something other then air might come out). The hospital does give you stuff but I don't know if you are like me but I like my own soap and stuff to take a shower. And let me tell you that shower was the best shower in the world. Don't know if you watch The Walking Dead but I was like those guys when they took their first shower in forever. Chapstick is a must. (I had 3). I wore a light t shirt and stretchy yoga pants going in but then changed into one of my over sized sleep shirts. Wore that home.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
