Hey there,

My surgery is in Tuesday and I'm trying to figure out what to pack. I'm going to wear my moo moo there that I will wear when I come home...what else should I pack?

Thanks a bunch, Virginia

robe

cell phone

cell phone charger

chapstick

biotene mouth spray

that's it.

I read numerous posts about what to take to the hospital. I had a small bag full of stuff and used absolutely none of it. Everything I needed was provided and the pain meds made me not care.

best of luck

gas x strips. they help with gas. read that on here. melt on your tongue so not swallowing anything. also there is a thread in the pre-op section that gives a list of what to take. Just read through it and pick what you need. Thread is called "The Official What You Will Need For Your Gastric Sleeve Surgery Thread!"

Good luck!!

Honestly, you'll need very little. This is surgery. Not a staycation.

I also took my heating pad. I slept with it on my chest. An I did use the instant dissolved gas x strips. Look at the forum for hospital stay..great tips. I also took my ear plugs n eye shades...

I only took my cell phone ,phone charger , change of clothes and tooth brush. Honestly the first day I was out of it mostly due to the morophine , the second day I brushed my teeth and washed up and was discharged early 3rd day . Oh you might want to take bedroom slippers since you will be waking a lot.

This was my experience as well. I didn't even use my robe. I miraculously had almost no gas pain, so I didn't use the Gas-X strips. The only thing I used was my phone, and I didn't even use that very much because the anti-nausea patch made my eyesight too blurry.
