The Official What You Will Need For Your Upcoming Weightloss Surgery Thread!

I was told that it basically depends on the border customs agent, obviously if you have your passport that is your best bet. If you don't have it they the customs agent may not say anything or he might send you to a secondary inspection and they make you wait even more until they check their system and verify that you are a US citizen.

My surgery is in less than 2 weeks. I'm gonna have to go off of Omars statement at this time and hope for the best.

I am not sure if anyone mentioned Biotene to keep your mouth moist or not but Biotene is my suggestion. I read that on another thread and went right out and got myself some. :-)

Catheder bag? Ugh they really make you have one?

This sounds worse than the surgery, doesn't it?!

[MKinVA 20]

Wow! This is a great list! Thanks!

Just ordered what my hubby skeptically referred to as my "medicinal moose" from http://teddy-tech.com/ a bargain for the so-called Bari buddy bear hope it helps with the coughing pain, in any case I just got another snuggle buddy for bedtime

Great thread! I'm getting sleeved on Thursday, the 9th, and have been contemplating what to take.

[sassypants 673]

I took and used:-

Pjs

Slippers

Book

Glasses for reading

Phone and charger

Cottonwool and cleanser

Night cream

Toothpaste and toothbrush

Deodorant

Robe

Body pillow

Triangle pillow

Baby wipes

Vaseline for my lips

hair brush

Socks

I know there isn’t enough pillows nor can you get enough to put on your sides for support while you sleep learnt that from the gall bladder op so I brought my own so all I did was slight movements adjust the bed a bit and I was comfy.

Thing I didn’t bring that my sister had to bring me was a fan!

So hot in there I asked for one and they said sorry we don’t have any so one was brought in for me to keep me cool.

Things I took and didn’t need:-

Cpap machine (told me to hold off using it for as long as possible)

Laptop (couldn’t logon couldn’t get the dongal to register when my sis bought me one)

Shampoo

Conditioner

Body wash (wasn’t allowed to shower but was offered a bed bath lol used baby wipes!)

Hello everyone, this is my first visit to the site. I already feel better just reading all the pre op suggestions. My nerves are better and I know this sounds weird but I always felt embarrassed talking about it with everyone but not you guys!
