SusieT 43 Posted July 17, 2016 Just a note: In my recent experience, (4 wks ago) some things in your list are provided in your room. Even if you don't want them, you will be charged for them. I didn't bring a heating pad, but used the hospital's. It was much larger and used warm Water, like a radiator. Had a looooooong cord, so I could move to the chair to sit, etc. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lorless 67 Posted July 18, 2016 I've been looking for something like this. What are you wearing home? I thought about a very modest flannel gown, but I really wanted to wear clothes. I didn't have anything really loose across my belly, so I bought a stretchy soft maxi dress to wear home. Found one for just $9.

SusieT 43 Posted July 18, 2016 I wore the same clothes home that I wore to the hospital, but couldn't get dressed until they took my IV out. Seems to take forever till someone came! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WendyA88 20 Posted July 21, 2016 Bring a throw blanket. I had my surgery in June and was still cold. A blanket, pillow, robe, and long loose PJ dress were most helpful during hospital stay. Oh and my wonderful husband who helped me up and down to bathroom and back to bed. Hope this helps Sent from my SM-G360T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted July 21, 2016 I was freezing in the hospital but they didn't have any problem bringing me extra blankets. They even sent one home with me so I could use it in the car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
