I have extra panties, grippy socks, my robe, deodorant, shampoo and conditioner, body wash, toothbrush and paste, hair ties, brush, gas-ex strips, phone and charger and that's about it. I am wearing the clothes that I wear there home. Oh and a pillow with a hot pink pillow case so I know it's mine.

Here's what I took and actually used:

Toiletries (toothbrush, paste, deodorant, powder, BRUSH, shampoo/conditioner). My husband had to buy me a brush in the gift shop because I forgot mine!

My own t-shirt and pajama pants

My own pillow with colorful pillowcase (so I knew it was mine)

Cell phone/charger (used only to call my kids each night)

Slippers

Things I took and didn't use:

Heating pad

Gas-X strips (doctor wouldn't allow)

iPad

Kindle- I don't know if it was just because I was pretty sick right after surgery and spent most of my time dozing but I didn't need anything to pass the time.

Make sure you if you still have a menstrual cycle to take feminine products! The surgery can throw your cycle off :/

Hey! I had the gastric sleeve Jan 15th, and as of today I haven't feel nauseas, right now I'm having 4oz Protein Shake and its ok. What I'm a bit worried is that since yesterday I've been having diarrhea, not much but my instentines have been making weird noises.

Has this happened to any of you post-op?

My doctor said that I was only going to stay for a night, but I prepared myself for three nights.

-a couple of undies, like 5

-toothbrush, toothpaste, slippers, lotion, soap, hairbrush

- three pjs

- iPad (didn't use at all cuz the little time I was with my eyes opened I used my cellphone to update my family)

- towel, a big one and two small, with my name sewed, just in case.

I only stayed a night so 80% of what I had in that bag I didn't use

I am all packed and ready to fly away first thing in the morning! Along with most of above mentioned items I am also bringing an audio book for all the walking I am told I will be doing. I am expected to stay in hospital 3-5 days.

      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.
