QUESTION:

"I'm having surgery soon, what will I need for my hospital stay or for shortly after???"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, ladies and gentlemen, this question comes up here so much - I felt it would be a great idea to start up an official thread. My plan is once I think the list is great enough, I'm going to create a checklist for all the folks out there that will be sleeved shortly and have the above question. Then if you are around long enough and as much as I am, and someone has that question you can just lead them to this thread. Fair enough?

Sometimes it's just nice to have everything all in the same place, kinda following the WalMart rule of thumb. They are very successful, aren't they?

Anyway, please start with your suggestions and I'll get my MSWord fired up. I'll also start with the first suggestion:

Comfy Pajamas, underclothes, and slippers or warm cozy socks...

Hi Im new to this online support group and live in Ky but I have to travel to PA for my surgery, my first trip to meet my surgeon is on Oct 5, 2017 and I will get a surgery date then and also a recommendation as to the bypass or sleeve, very undecided which to ask for so going to wait for his suggestion, anyone out there able to add some light on their preference.

Ok, I have made the Hospital Stay Checklist. Keep the suggestions coming. I'll make updates once in awhile. :-) I do hope this helps!!
