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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
