Chapstick, phone charger, your own pillow (aslo to put against your stomach for the bumpy ride home), mouth swabs - your mouth gets so dry. Herbal tea bags for something warm to drink - it helps. Slippers to walk the hallway, a light robe, yoga pants to wear home, sports bra - a regular one was too uncomfortable.

The above. And, I'd also suggest

an eye mask,

pants with a very loose waist band since you won't know where the incisions will hit, slippers,

earbuds and earphones.

I brought a light robe with me, but wasn't able to put it on since I had an IV in my hand, which didn't allow me to put my arm through the sleeve. So, I might suggest a heavy wrap instead. What you really want to make sure of is that your backside is covered. They'll try to get you walking as soon as possible, and those robes are ridiculous.

Phone charger brick.

And, if you like watching things, a tablet of some sort that you can watch. However, I had someone watch my bag until I was back in the room.

Chapstick is a must.

And, something lovely (I brought Olay face clothes) to wash your face with.

Good luck!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
