And charger for phone or tablet. Lip balm. Slippers. Your own pillow for sleep and for comfort on the ride home. Someone said the johnnies were more comfortable in the hospital than pj's but a robe to cover your backside when you walk the halls is a must. I've started packing my bag, too. Surgery Thursday! :-)

Only things I took was my cell phone and charger, iPad and charger, Chapstick, socks, underwear, sweatpants and pads/tampons just incase and my pillow. I wore comfy loose fitting clothes to the hospital and wore them home. Didn't even use my iPad. I was either sleeping or walking.

      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.
