I am scheduled for my surgery on the 19th with Dr. Lopez in Tijuana. Nervous and excited for Tuesday to get here. Any advice from fellow sleevers for items to take and what my husband can expect? Anyone else be there at this time?

I am having my surgery March 19 too but here in the U.S. I have been reading that I need to bring slippers, a bath robe, and loose fitting clothes for going home.

Hello everyone,

I am also having my surgery on March 19...I am nervous but also excited...I want to wish everyone good luck on their surgery...We all will do great..

Leave all valuables at home. extra undies, lol. I know alot of people who take laptops and such but why??? LOl. However, I did not go abroad.

Use the search engine here, and focus on posts and replies from people not about what they are packing, but what they realized they really needed. It will be a little work, but it helps.

I encourage you to keep a VST.com journal. A real notebook with notes about anything you find interesting, would like to be able to reference or access again. Print them out, maybe - I did and it helped cut the clutter of "I know I read that somewhere".

Good luck!
