No...as far as "food" or "meds" go, the hospital will have everything you need.

Good luck!

I didn't take anything except my hygiene and clothes. The hospital will have everything you need. Just relax and take the ride of your life into your future. Let us know how you are doing. Enjoy

I was reading my op papers and I will begin with the Protein Shakes the 3rd day. So I will stay in the hospital until Friday, 3 days... Thanks all for the help! I'm so nervous. ...

You will do fine. I'm scheduled for Friday and I have butterflies too. It's normal. Congratulations.

Don't need them! The hospital should have everything you need. I was on Clear Liquids for a week and a half. Remember to take it slow and drink small quantities like 15-20 ml every 15 minutes. It all adds up and will help keep you hydrated. Ask for liquid pain med like Roxicet for any post op pain at home. It helped me! Good luck to you!

      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.
