my flight leaves at 6am tomorrow and I have no idea what to pack! I have the gas-x strips that i have read about and some comfy pj pants to wear home (i know i wont care what I look like). I am going to tijuana with dr. garcia for surgery 4/11... any advice would help!

Have you seen the Word document in the first post on this thread in the Pre-Op section:

Don't forget your heating pad, slippers or comfy sandals you can slip on....a book maybe... lots of great stuff in the list too.

And Congrats!! Please come back and post how it's going after surgery for all of those anxiously waiting still..haha!

chapstick and a soft pillow to hold against your tummy when you need to cough or move about.

Good luck. Can't wait to hear about your experience!

Is it good to have firmness around your middle? Like a wide band high leggings? Or do u only apply pressure sometimes- I have no idea what clothes to bring

Here is what you bring....

Gas-x strips, couple pairs of sweat pants, couple shirts, couple underwears, toiletries. That's all I used.
