What did you take the hospital?



Recommended Posts

Yep I'm packing my bags.. tomorrow's the big day... Any and all suggestions of what you took or wish you'd had for your surgery. I have to be in the hospital for three days after if that matters.

I haven't had my sleeve surgery yet, but I have 2 gastric band surgeries, I brought my pillow and some comfy pajamas, I couldn't wait to get out of that hospital gown! Other than the usual toiletries(hairbrush, toothbrush), i brought a few other things(iPad, books) but didn't end up using any of them, mostly slept, sat with visitors and watched tv...lol

I brought:

Own pillow from home

Phone and charger

Toothbrush and toothpaste

Kobo

comfy PJ pants (just wore the johnny shirt on top)

hair elastic

Slippers

chapstick

That's all I ended up using, and I was in hospital for three days and three nights as well. Anything else that I needed the hospital provided (face cloths, towels, Shampoo, soap, etc) I wore a baggy t shirt and sweatpants going in, and just wore the same clothes the day I went home. Good luck with your surgery!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
