Welcome to VST Kym. I would suggest checking out the thread Dr. Aceves' Information - it has a great list of what to take to the hospital - even if Dr. Aceves' is not your surgeon, it will give you a good idea or at least a place to start from.

You might want to make your font larger - like a 3 - so everyone can read it - it is VERY difficult to read because it is so small. If you go into User CP and down to the very bottom on the left hand side, you can change it as your default so you don't have to change the size everytime you post. Just a suggestion!

Congratulations Kym! I didn't take much to the hospital...I think all I brought were slippers, toothbrush, dress to wear home (I had mine in the summer), and Kindle (but didn't feel like reading). I know others recommend gas x strips or something. I'm sure if you take Vegas' suggestion and look around you'll find more information.

As for the week before surgery, I was so nervous, but also excited. I just wanted it to be here so I could be on my way to a healthier life. It's almost here...less than a week away!

Hey Kym! I have my surgery the same day! Good luck!

Good luck tomorrow Kym and Ruby. You will be in my thoughts.

Good luck on your sugery!

I took way too much to the hospital, thought I'd do some reading... Yeah right. So much goes on around you, no time to read.

I was also so, so, so affraid. Really. But once I was there, my husband had left, I felt sort of a calm come over me. Like whatever was going to happen, would happen, but the procces was already started, so nothing I could do but just sit back and let it happen.

It turned out just fine, like I am sure it will for you!

Kym & Ruby - God be with you and your surgeon today as you begin your first step of your new healthier life.
