Pre-bariatric surgery questions

Posted by sarah1017 @sarah1017, Apr 1, 2023

Good morning everyone, I am one week away from my surgery date, okay well 10 days 🙂 here are some of my questions..
What did you bring to the hospital with you, was there anything you did not bring you wish you would have?
For those that work how long were you out of work, I am a counselor so I don't do any manual labor.
While healing at home, where there things that made your healing more comfortable? or things you wished you had and did not? Things you found that worked better than others?
Well I think that is all for now, I am sure there will be more as I get closer or as I get answers.
Thank you everyone for your time
Sarah

Take comfortable loose fitting clothes to wear home.

I had long drive home from hospital, so I had person driving me home to bring a pillow that I held over my belly during drive. I could feel every bump in the road.

When you get home, take it easy and follow diet restrictions. Do not try and rush it.

Good luck
