What to bring to the hospital?

[sg_vsg 20]

Hi Everyone!

I'm being sleeved on 10/28 and I wanted to see if there were any suggestions on what to bring to the hospital. I'll be staying at least a night. I'm bringing a set of comfy clothes, toothbrush, hair brush, some gas-x strips.. is there anything that I might not be thinking of?

I'm so excited, but also kind of nervous.

You will need very little. Comfortable clothes to wear there and home. Slippers for walking a little. Toothbrush/toothpaste. The more you take the more you have to unpack. I slept and walked a little the 8 hours I was there. Good luck!!!

I spent the night, and I found that I didn't really need much of what I packed. The hospital provided slippers for walking, and they asked me to wear the hospital gown the entire time. I did brush my teeth before I headed home the next morning.

I over packed, should have taken as little as possible. All I really needed was clothes to go home in, toothbrush, chapstick, hairband and my own slippers.

All I used:

An extra pair of underwear to wear home.

Biotene spray.

Lip balm.

A heating pad.

A pillow for the ride home.

My mom.

The hospital provided everything else I needed.

What is the avg stay for this procedure. The more I read this site the more questions I have for my surgeon

I was in and out in about 24hrs. Would have been shorter but had to wait for my surgeon to checkout.

I'll be staying two nights after my surgery and wasn't planning on bringing much besides underwear, toothbrush/toothpaste, a pair of comfy pajamas and chapstick. One less thing to worry about the day of.

My dr requires three nights hospital stay and also places a Blake drain during surgery to check for leaks / the hospital I'm using has zero record of leaks - the Blake drain will get taken out a week after surgery

A dress of some sort in case you don't tolerate the waisted band of pants. I wore a dress for first 5 days no undies no bra because it bothered me so much. A phone charger. Hospital should supply the rest
