Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  Starting to get nervous!  Ok, I have less than 2 weeks to surgery. Now where's that darn list of things to take to the hospital? The only thing I can remember is chap stick. |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass    |  Yes...chapstick! And a lap blanket and your own pillow. I was so happy that my husband brought those for me. It gave me a piece of home. I also took my crocs (shoes) with me for walking up and down the hallway. |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I stressed to the lady at pre-op that they are like being "locked in a small closet" for me, so she wrote in bold letter across my chart "Nothing on the feet". But I really like the air boots...that was almost like when you get your feet done and they massage your calves! |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I remember this time. Its very nerveracking. Honestly I packed so much stuff and never ended up touching anything in the bag. I had forgotten chapstick. So hubby went and bought some of that. But you may want a robe but I didnt use mine. I had two hospital gowns on. One going front ways and one going backwards. And I too had to wear those rubber socky things. But your own pillow would be a good comfort.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I have to be honest. While in the hospital, I was completely grossed out the last day there by how I smelled and looked. No one else seemed to care, but I did. I could not wait to get home and get showered. I had no shame when my mom and sister basically washed me in the shower. Deodorant was a lifesaver for me. My hair was so nasty from sweating out the pain meds. But, Ii would do it all again. Just remember to get up and walk as much as you can and sip, sip, sip! You will be fine.
