What should I pack? Of course, I have thought of the obvious like toothpast and what not, but what are the things that most people forget, or that you wish you would have brought with you?

Hey There!!

Happy New Years...

Are you talking about what you should bring to the hospital? Of course I brought a toothbrush and toothpaste and all that kind of stuff but the things I enjoyed the most were my facial wipes cloths (so refreshing), hand cream and soft booty socks. I also brought a housecoat and that was nice for walking around in. Finally, I also brought one of those body spray things, that made me feel good too so that I did not smell like "surgery". :party:

Well hope this helps...good luck and congradulations.

Hugs

are you flying-how long will you be away from home--etc. I just got back from Monterrey--I had the surgery on 12/28 and came home on 12/31. If you are just going to an outpatient or overnight, the list would be different than if you are going to be gone a couple days

12/28

Chapstick - you'll be very dry after surgery.

A pillow for the ride home in the car -hold it against yourself so the bumps don't hurt so much.

Good luck!

      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?
