genn 460 Posted November 13, 2016 I have not personally had my surgery yet but work as a nurse and have had several patients that over pack really you only need the clothes you wear which I won't have on long so u can wear them home. Ur phone and charger. Gas x strips (highly recommended). Personal hygiene products. Slippers. U will spend most of ur time sleeping.

macon_me 68 Posted November 13, 2016 Also take a robe for when you have to walk around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinasu 621 Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Honestly, I didn't need anything but my phone and charger. The hospital provided everything, down to the lip balm. Besides, I was pretty wasted on pain meds and didn't do anything but sleep.

Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App Good to know, I'm just taking a large purse for hygiene products and figure they will give me slipper socks in the hospital. And I'm packing a change of undies to go home in. Sent from my SM-G550T1 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunnydeeliteful 91 Posted November 13, 2016 Also take a robe for when you have to walk aroundI thought of that but I hazard a guess they will have bariatric johnnies so my hint will be covered Sent from my SM-G550T1 using the BariatricPal App Also take a robe for when you have to walk aroundI thought of that but I hazard a guess they will have bariatric johnnies so my hint will be covered Sent from my SM-G550T1 using the BariatricPal App That's supposed to say hiney Sent from my SM-G550T1 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieS0208 39 Posted November 13, 2016 I took my robe, slippers, iPad, phone, charger, medicines (they didn't have one of mine), contact case, toothbrush, toothpaste, underwear, and change of clothes. I was pretty well set. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zelmad 3 Posted November 13, 2016 If you have any meds that are exspensive take them with you. I only took my phone charger and phone. They charge you for everything wether you take it or not. Except the exspensive meds. Sent from my Nexus 6 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kittykatlover 50 Posted November 13, 2016 I packed a change of underwear, tablet, phone, charger, lip balm, lotion, and baby wipes. I overpacked. I ended up using my phone, charger, and lip balm. I was discharged 24 hours after surgery. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShelterDog64 2,364 Posted November 13, 2016 I took pjs to change into before I started walking and my own slippers...I hate hospital gowns and those socks. Hygiene items, phone/tablet/chargers. A book if you don't read on a tablet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rosey posey 176 Posted November 13, 2016 The only thing I'm taking that hasn't been mentioned- a long handled backscratcher, in case I itch and also to reach things I can't. But will take all advice to heart for the future Rosey deflating and re alignment Day! Sent from my S55 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
