June 3rd is finally here!!!

Tommorrow is the day, I go in at 7am and I'm excited and nervous. I was told that I will be staying overnight. For those of you who have also stayed the night, what will I need in the hospital. Can I bring my own PJ's or will they make me stay in a gown? Any advice will help. Thanks.

Just had my surgery last Wednesday the 28th of May, I stayed overnight. I did not need much hospital took care of everything. The velcro shoes to avoid blood clotting that make air noise are very annoying after awhile...relax and enjoy

The best of luck YoungNY. My thoughts and prayers are with you tomorrow and the rest of your journey.

I'm going to take my own pillow. Also I'm going to try and skip the gown. I'm more comfortable in a wife beater and boxer shorts. If my tank gets some blood on it from the incisions, it's ok, it's old and a cheapie from Target. :biggrin2:

This will be my year to shine! Florida in July and Mexico in November.

Hello. I am 3 weeks post op. As far as PJ's... girl I had went out and purchased these comfortable ones. I did end up putting them on. They require you to walk around. It really helps with the gas. And I refused to walk in that gown so they let me put them on as long as they were baggy. I didnt really need anything else. Of course I brought other stuff...but never used it. So just bring your pjs and GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!

good luck to everyone having surgery tomorrow or in the near future. Bring your toiletries if you feel like cleaning up--of course you don't have to wear your gown. Remember though, you probably won't feel that good. The second day (the day I went home) was the worst. Get plenty of rest. Watch out for that left shoulder pain. Do EXACTLY what they say for the post-op eating plan. Good luck !

Banded 2/27/08. Lost 26 pounds current weight 194

Good luck and don't forget to let us know how you did!
