It was nice to have my pillow and a furry blanket. Bring your phone and maybe a book. I was so groggy I really didn't read much. Besides that just your basic toiletries and wear lounge clothes. They give you those non skid socks to put on so I really didn't need slippers.

Surgery Monday! Clear liquids tomorrow. I'm freaking out. Any packing suggestions for the hospital stay??

I'm Monday as well. I am going to bring a robe, slippers, hair ties, phone, charger, laptop, small firm pillow to hold against my stomach while getting in and out of bed and to put between my stomach and the seatbelt on the way home. I will also be taking GasX dissolvable. I will wear my loose fitting clothes there and then just wear them back again. (With a pair of clean panties of course. )

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
