Bring a pair of flip flops. Your not going to be able to get your tread socks on. Also I went alone and I brought my suitcase. It stays in your private room with the door locked while your in surgery. Put a good lock on it and you won't have any problems. They do have wifi. They give you a code to access it. If you call the operator they will connect you free of charge to anyone back home as often as you want. Good luck to you.

The hospital will provide slippers for you. You don't need Gas strips, they have all the medicine there for you. I just brought a carry on and came home with my xrays, blood work, and medicine. Go thru Ready 4a Change, they really take care of you.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
