Pack lightly.

Chapstick, Robe, Front closure sports bra no underwire(this is a necessity for me, I refuse to walk around the halls without a bra with a bunch of strangers staring at me), non-skid slippers.

I took my own shampoo/conditioner, deodorant, and body wash because hospital stuff sucks. I also took Oil of Olay facial wipes. Nothing feels better than a clean, refreshed face after surgery, well a shower is amazing, but it may be a day or two until you can bathe.

I took clothes, but decided to stay in the hospital gown because bandage changes, and if there are any accidents, I didn't want to ruin/dirty up my clothes.

Bring comfy, loose, drawstring pants to wear home.

I put some audiobooks on my ipod..... I loved just looking out the window and being "read" to.

I have to second everything that Tiffy listed. I also stayed in my hospital gown because of dressing changes and they also gave shots to my lower abdomen for blood clots.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
