I'm about to start packing for the hotel and hospital stay. Could you please help me out? ???? I already have an idea of what I need, but a little help is always appreciated.

I was in for about 5-6 days and I didn't use any of what I packed entertainment wise lol!

I took,

Slippers with grips on that are easy to get on

A really baggy nightie - you are very bloated after as they usually pump you with air (thought not sure what you're having done)

Toothbrush, flannel, shower gel, hairbrush.

Lip balm as your lips get dry

Knickers

Charger for phone

Magazine or book

Baggy trousers / pajamas

Hope it goes well :)

Do they have free WiFi at the Marriott hotel?

You know, I cannot for the life of me remember. I went through my email correspondence and it looks like I was told there was free wifi in the common/public areas and that you had to pay extra if you wanted access in your room. I mostly watched movies/tv shows I had downloaded to my laptop from my DVR and read books on my Kindle while I was there. I don't remember if I did email and IM-ing from my room or not. I do remember sitting in the lobby and messing around on my laptop, but that may have just been while I was waiting for the shuttle or just wanting to get out of my room for a while. You should just email your patient coordinator to find out for sure.

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
