My sister and I laughed our heads off at the panties. My gown was 3x too big but those panties weren't even close :) commando for me, too!

When I was having my first baby 30 some years ago my mother went and got me those huge paper drawers....I laughed my head off too.

The extension cord was crucial for me.

What is an extension cord? Or should I ask, an extension cord to what?

It's an electrical cord that plugs in the electrical socket that's has a plug at the end. It allows you to lengthen your power cords.

Most hospitals were built before we were hooked up to all of these electronics. Therefore, plugs for laptops or phone chargers are too far away or awkward to reach from your hospital bed.

Hahaha lol yes of course.

Back2barb had said that the best things She took with her were front snap sports bras and an extension cord. I assumed that it was a bra with an extension cord...so funny...I guess I should read properly.

Was wondering the same thing! lol!

I took a robe and slippers, 2 tubes of chapstick and toothbrush and hair brush. didn't need anything more.

I tend to pack light. I can pack for a 10 day trip in small carry on. :)

When I went in for my surgery I was on my period. So the gave me hospital underwear and pads. They were cloth w/elastic. Nothing wrong with them, I had other things to worry about other than underwear ;). They did the job :).

I was wondering what part of the world do they not have extension cords! :) Then I thought maybe they call them something else where you're from.

      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.
