So in 24 hrs I will be admitted into the hospital - let the journey begin. I'm nervously excited! How long did you stay in the hospital? Did you bring any specialty items to the hospital. I just want to feel prepared at home too - other than chicken broth what else do people have for the liquid diet weeks.

They did my sleeve as an outpatient so I can not tell you what to bring. They had everything I needed when I came out of recovery. However, I just wanted to let you know I am praying a successful procedure over you and a wonderful new journey ahead!! It's one of the best things I've ever for myself! :)

good luck with your surgery tomorrow. Just get some rest and try to walk when you can. Most hospital stays are under 3 days. ;)

Hi I'm 3 days post op and I stayed one night in the hospital. I'm feeling good have some gas pains and it hurts a bit when I swallow and it hits my stomach but it's because of the gas. I slept so good in my bed last night! God Bless you all

Plenty of Water. PLENTY. Juices will taste like Syrup, so Water will be on your friend. Also, lying down flat is no longer an option for me, so a good support pillow will be a life saver! God Bless

The only items I used for my 3 day stay at the hospital was a robe, my chapstick, and my phone charger. The clothes I wore to the hospital I wore home. (Except for my underwear) LoL. Good luck to u.

      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.

      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.
