Welcome sweets! I'm so happy for you! You are going to LOVE sleevie congrats!

Items I took to the hospital, that made a difference in how I felt:
My favorite pillow
My favorite fuzzy blanket
My favorite robe
Comfy slippers
3 pairs of fuzzy socks (cause my feet are always cold)
chapstick
my laptop
my favorite body & face lotions
A size bigger than you would normally wear fuzzy pants or sweat pants for the ride home, as your belly is going to be tender.
a "wife beater" heavy T shirt to wear under baggy shirt instead of a bra for the ride home, as a bra might be too uncomfortable.
Baggy soft sweater to wear on ride home as it was cold and snowing here.
Of course all of these things were left in the car until my surgery was over, then my husband brought them in. *Except for one pair of fuzzy socks that I was able to wear through surgery, they were the only clothing from home I was allowed to keep on, I explained my feet get cold and I was told I could keep them on*

Note: stay awayfrom all those red liquids u mention two days prior to surgery. ;0)

Don't forget the pillow you'll need for ride home under seat belt! N a vomit bag just incase.

Good luck! I think all surgeons encourage you to walk as much as possible, so I would strongly recommend a comfortable pair of slippers. The hospital I was in provided slipper socks, but I really think it would have helped my early mobility if I had been able to have proper slippers.

Hellooooo!!!!! I have the exact same surgery date!! I have so many questions for you...where are you getting your surgery? What fun things did you find to liquid diet on? I'm having surgery in Monterrey, Mexico. I'm from the states but live in Mexico City. My favorite liquid diet food is orange Jello. Boring but oddly, my favorite.
Obviously, I haven't had my surgery yet but things I've heard to bring with to the hospital are comfy clothes, chap stick, sugar free gum, lotion and magazines, book(kindle). I can't wait to hear how things go for you!! Good luck and best wishes for a quick recovery!!
