Oh my, you've been thru quite a few things. Good luck, take care.
TheWombat, good reminder about a robe. Those hospital gowns are less than helpful at covering, so a light robe would be smart, thanks.
White Dove, thank you. Just getting an idea since I'm a supporter. It looks like you really don't stay long, so no need for anything frilly, right?
Good Morning!
For those of you that liked part 1 here is the follow up of Diabetes and Gastric Sleeve Surgery (Part 2)

I don't think I used anything other than my phone (and charger). I slept most of the time I was there...
The only things I used were shampoo, toothpaste & toothbrush (they'll give you that, but it's nice to have your own). If you're only staying overnight, you won't even need shampoo. If you're staying two nights or more, pajamas or a robe would be nice for walking up and down the corridor. They'll want you to get up and walk as soon as you can to prevent blood clots.
Is it normal to run low grade temp right after sleeve surgery? Also has anyone's staples leaked? How rare is it?
thank you
Chapstick is most important. Other than that a phone and charger. The hospital will provide everything else. It is usually a one night stay.

SuMari, thanks for the congrats. I'm getting a bit weak in the knees thinking of all of this, but I just read other posts and it helps for the most part! I'm not great at being on here all the time to post, but I need to do more. I can see the support!

Hello jbskaggs,
I am a support person for someone going through the surgery process soon, but read your post and had to say I'm praying for the best outcome for you. Just stopping by to wish you the best.
