Hello all! My surgery is in less than 24 hours! wooohooo! I will be sleeved tomorrow by Dr. Heider at 7am EST =D I am very excited. I was wondering what all of you brought to the hospital? The only specific thing I have on my list so far is CHAPSTICK!

Loose fitting clothes to wear home. A robe and some comfy shoes/slipper because you should do lots of walking. I always take my own pillow anywhere. Best of luck, keep us updated.

That's probably all you'll actually need in my opinion. I brought a book to read, and had my hubby keep my IPod with him, but didn't use either. I was either up walking the halls pushing the IV stand along, trying to get fluids in, or resting. Good luck!

Congrats and I'm wishing you the Best. I'll beat you by 30 min if everything starts on time, I'm getting mine at 0630. See you on the other Side of this Fight.:confused1:

Good luck to you both! I'll be thinking of ya & best wishes for a speedy & uneventful surgery & recovery. :confused1:

Good luck!!!

You won't need much, you'll be home before you know it. Best of luck to you.

something loose since your stomach will be swollen, I wore a housecoat home that hung from my shoulders but I had a 2 hr drive home. houseshoes or flip-flops. Good Luck!!

Lol - think you may need more than just that!

As well as what the others have posted I have on mine stuff like face, hand and body cream, as I get really anxious when my skin dries out - which usually with air con'd rooms it does, so that will help me relax a bit more.

Why not start a good book before you go in, so you're already into it and don't have to concentrate too much....

If you're having to travel to your Dr then don't forget a wheelie bag or case, to make sure you don't have to carry anything.

Good luck
