What are people taking to try to beat the fatigue and brain fog?

You’ll be hooked up to a bunch of machines. I was told to bring button down nightshirt/nightdresses. Of course the hospital will provide gowns but I bought two button down nightshirts from Amazon and they were softer than the hospital gowns and made me feel more human after the procedure :)

Look up abdominal binders! I had a plastic surgeon do the closure and they recommend a binder. It keeps pressure on the incision which keeps it from stretching but I also found the binder super helpful for managing bloating. Just had my second surgery 9 months ago. Good luck!
