Everyone getting sleeved tomorrow 11/22 what are you packing for the hospital?

I'm wearing the only pants I'll be taking, a pair of very loose, comfy lounge pants that won't irritate my abdomen. I'm taking a camisole, a looser tank top in case the camisole bothers me, a soft sports bra without underwire, and I'm wearing the "slippers" I'll use to walk around the hospital. I'm also taking a notebook in case I decide to journal, one of my mio Water flavoring things, toothbrush/paste, face and body wipes, deodorant, hand lotion, my medications, my phone, and the charger. I have netflix and books on my phone if I get bored while awake. Oh, also a sweatshirt. I usually over pack for everything. I think it's a Latina thing, but I did try to keep it to a minimum. My body temperature fluctuates, so I have to prepare for everything. I believe they will give us compression stocking to wear, so I wasn't planning on bringing socks beyond what I'm wearing in.

Good luck! Let me know how it goes tomorrow! Mine is at 7:30, so thankfully I don't have to wait around.

See you on the other side!

4 days pre op and I have to wonder why I was so worried about recovery. I was up same day on my own wandering halls of hospital and drinking fine. Only stayed in one night which was great

I had surgery on Friday as out-patient. I started my Protein today...two ounces in (over the course of 10-15 mins) and I've been stuffed for hours. Literally like 4 hours. Miserable. Tomorrow is a new day, and I'll take it slower. Do things take longer to digest? I haven't heard that but I see how that's possible.

Congrats on your transition. Sounds like you are doing amazing!!!

I had my sleeve on November 9th. Doing great getting all my Protein and liquids in so far. Almost no pain at my incisions, just took Tylenol in the hospital for pain, and since. Looking forward to moving on to puree on Wednesday!

I'm scheduled for Nov. 21st. I'm not going to lie. I'm a lot anxious about post-opt.

I've read too many posts about complications and difficulties. Honestly, it sounds horrifying.

I live in Austin, Texas. Are there any support groups here?

Thanks.

21st in Oklahoma

How's recovery going? Feeling okay?

OH!

Don't know if you all know about them, but the thing I found to help the gas pain that worked the best are Gas-X strips that dissolve on the tongue. I found mine at CVS near the antacids, but have seen them at Walmart, Target, Walgreens, etc.

Not going to lie, my post-op Day 2 has been HELL. The pain has been worse, I'm doubly exhausted, and the transition to swallowing pills before they even had me swallowing Water was nuts. I'll get through, but wow! Thankfully yesterday was a good day and kind of balances out today. I will probably stay another night at the hospital as I'm honestly not at all ready to be on my own yet and there will be no one to help me tomorrow, so I should get as much as I can here.

To be honest. I read more postive post op stories than negative.
