shantell500 46 Posted June 22, 2016 I've finally been approved for my sleeve surgery I am sooo excited. I'm schedule for surgery on July 9th and will be spending one night in the hospital. I would like to know from you guys who have already done the surgery 1. What did you pack for hospital stay and 2. Things u know now you wish persons had told you before surgery. Thanks Shantell500 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Champ715 207 Posted June 22, 2016 Congratulations! I also spent one night in the hospital and I brought a bunch of stuff I really didn't need. When I wasn't up walking, I was knocked out asleep. The things I actually used were: comfy pajamas slippers (or those socks with little pads on the bottom. They gave these to me in the hospital but I wore my own slippers instead) hair brush toothbrush & toothpaste chapstick Things I wish I knew before: It will be hard to drink even a little bit of Water but give it 100%. Plenty of Water will make it much easier to go #2 when the time comes. Trust me, you don't want to make this any harder than it has to be. Miralax was my best friend for 3 weeks post op. Good luck! I'm almost 9 months post op so feel free to message me if you have any other questions about what the early months are like Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zsazsaamor 46 Posted June 24, 2016 1. I packed toiletries a change of clothes flip flops and comfortable socks and most importantly*I believe* my teddy Bear❤ he helped a lot with the healing and pressure way better than a pillow. 2. I didn't know how hormonal I would be or that I would be able to feel my whole digestive process lol oh and Hair loss I didn't know about that either Congrats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
