What to bring to the hospital?



Recommended Posts

There are a ton of posts on this topic, but I brought:

Pajamas and a bathrobe and slippers

Extension cord

Charger for my phone and tablet

Clean undies

Headphones for my phone/tablet

Toothbrush, tooth paste and a hair brush.

The most important things were the extension cord (outlets are in strange places in hospitals) and the slippers. I hate those socks. So I was able to walk alot to get rid of the gas.I wore the same clothes home I wore to the hospital. I was only in 1 night.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
