So it's finally here! My surgery is tomorrow! a bunch of mixed feelings but overall very excited! Are there any suggestions for what I should pack for my one night stay? also has anyone had to remove there acrylic nails? No one has said anything to me about it, the preadmission nurse even complimented them the other day! Finally starting to explore this app and know it will come in handy through out my process! please send good vibes my way! ;-*

I packed light. Front closing wireless bra, clean underwear, socks, brush, tooth brush, deodorant, sleep shorts ( I stayed in their gown due to incision leakage) gas x and Chapstick. I also had my mini iPad for when I was not sleeping or walking. They gave me toiletries to shower with and a clean gown. Some people don't shower in the hospital though. All of it fit in a small tote.

Hopefully that helps

Oh and forgot to say the most important thing! Good luck and congratulations

^{Good luck and congratulations!!! They told me not nail polish, I took mine just on case. My surgery is one day after yours.}

Hi, I am also new to this and will be having my surgery tomorrow mornin in NC.. I am too a bit nervous with mixed emotions.. I find it relieving to hear some of these stories and be apart of this group. Hope your surgery goes well tomorrow as well as mine.. I have to be there at 5:45am and my surgery is at 7am.. (I am doin the gastric sleeve)

I did have to remove my acrylic nails. They told me when they called to give my surgery time. I wasn't sure and didn't ask if I had to take all or just the pointer where they check your oxygen. I hadn't had them off for ten yrs so it was probably good to give my nails a rest. I didn't put them back on for 3 wks but that was my choice.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow!

I was told no polish, not sure about acrylics.

Had to remove mine 3 yrs ago when I started working for a hospital

But with all this protein the last couple of months my nails are growing like crazy.

My surgery is also tomorrow morning I go in for 6 am!!! Chapstick I hear is a must, I will also be bringing in my iPad,a nightgown, robe, shorts, socks

My instructions say no nail polish, but its okay to leave acrylics on. My nurse said clear polish is okay.

I have gel nails that are long like acrylics but I was told polish is fine as long as its a half-tip... just like a french.

thank you everyone for all the advice and much appreciated luck!! I am so anxious to start my journey! a lot of running around to do and I am going to finish packing!! feel free anyone to send me a message! Love the support!! ????
