 |  Hospital stay I remember reading some tips on what to take to the hospital with me but I can not find it. Can someone please give me some ideas as to what I should take with me. I will also be in Victoria (away from home) for 7 days as the surgeon require I stay in town for a week after released from hospital to ensure all is well. I am also curious what might be useful to have in my hotel room for this week that will make things easier. |

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   | i say chap stick or some type of lip balm is a must. not sure about the rules for what to wear in the hospital you are staying in but i was not allowed to wear my own night clothes or my own slippers for their liability reasons. but if you are staying in a hotel afterward, comfy clothes. you arent going to want to do much but lay around.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | Hun When Your In The Hosp Its So Much Easier To Wear Their Gowns For So Many Reasons. They Constantly Check The Incesion Areas, To Empty Your Drain Which Could Be Messy And You Dont Want To Ruin Your Clothes, And Its More Comfy! In The Hosp They Gave Me A Toothbrush, Toothpaste, Soap, Shampoo, Etc So I Really Didnt Have To Bring Much. And I Was Never Wanting To Read Or Anything Like That.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I would also suggest a lap blanket and your own pillow. You will want one to hold on your tummy when you need to cough or when they pull any drains out. |
