D'Sleeved 62 Posted August 7, 2016 @ JJcool What I want to get from this post is that I am prepared not all the extra... I understand that many people have and will over pack for their stay at the hospital... I am being the this that makes me comfortable... We all have strong opinions and when people indicted " you do not need this or that because they didn't need it" now come on we are all individuals what good for me may not be good for someone else's. Thanks for asking me what I want instead of telling what I need. I wish all this negative drama can just go away Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reducer623 137 Posted August 7, 2016 I don't think anyone meant any harm, they were just letting you know about their experiences and what they took.

nickisleeve 127 Posted August 7, 2016 You do realize that when you post on here you are essentially asking for thoughts and feedback, right? If you don't want thoughts and feedback, then post the picture on Pinterest. NO ONE was even remotely trying to be offensive or insensitive to you. At all. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App great idea! I ❤️ Pinterest Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reeniemay 64 Posted August 7, 2016 Biotene (spelling) was very useful, it really helped with dry mouth! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted August 8, 2016 Almost everything you listed you don't need. The thing you will probably need the most you don't have on the list which is lip balm. Although, I didn't even need that really, when I woke up and said my lips were dry the nurse put vaseline on them for me. They provide everything for you at the hospital. If you are going to a hospital that doesn't, I wouldn't let them cut on me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daniotra 298 Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) The only things I used in the hospital were my ID/Medical Card, phone, a pair of PJs, deodorant and a hairbrush. I wore the PJs home. The hospital provided a toothbrush and Chapstick, I did have my own though. I never used a heating pad. I did use ice packs over my biggest incision.

daniotra 298 Posted August 8, 2016 I did wish I had brought a pillow for my tummy on the trip home. I borrowed an extra one in the hospital, but I had to deal without on the ride home. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GinaCampbell 434 Posted August 8, 2016 I think people were simply being kind and trying to save you cluttering your hospital room with unnecessary items. That's alot to carry too. Maybe someone will be carrying it all for you. You are over prepared. It shouldn't upset you by people simply trying to help. God bless you and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

D'Sleeved 62 Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) @ GinaCampbell You are a day to late to be adding your thoughts to what I said.... It seem to me that you are trying to be the bariatrics cop on what I should and shouldn't say... I am not a child I am a grown women I don't have to tolerate you in my life. Save your comments s for some one that cares... If you don't like what I posted then you don't have to comment... I have to ask you these questions is you some kind of cyber bully ? Do you live off making drama? When you was younger was you the kind of person that everyone avoided ? You must be very longly in your life, I can't make you happy, if you woke up and you are depressed and you are having a bad morning. I don't have anything to do with that. Stop trying to be so controlling over my opinion, stop been negative Nancy.

I will post where I like, when I like. You posted first, inviting opinion. Exactly why are you posting if you don't want people to support you? Everyone, including myself, have only simply tried to help you. As for the rest of the nastiness you spat in my direction, I shall simply ignore it and put it down to the stress of your pre op diet and upcoming surgery. I know how hard it is to stick to a liquid diet, you must be having an effect on your emotions. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJCool 104 Posted August 8, 2016 @D'Sleeved Then I wish you all the best for your surgery. You DO certainly look well prepared and I'm sure that having your things with you in the hospital will be a great source of comfort for you.
