The only things I needed were my toothbrush, toothpaste, phone and charger, hairbrush, and a comfy going home outfit. They will give u a gown, non skid socks to walk in, and everything else ull need.

Good luck!

Chap stick was huge for me. I read that from someone on this site and it was the best thing ever. You will be very dry when you are done and recovering.

One thing I brought with me that was really helpful was an extension cord. It sounds crazy, but if you are using your phone or laptop, you don't want to have to hop in and out of bed to get to an outlet.

      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.
