Chap stick has always been at the top of most of the lists I've seen. Wear in loose clothes to wear home and bring a pillow from home to use as for belly support for the ride home. I drove 3 hours from home to have my surgery so having a pillow with me for the ride home was priceless.

I was told loose sweats as some people go home with drain.. Bathrobes a must because you'll be encouraged to walk and will most likely be required to wear hospital gown during hospital stay slippers , Chapstick ,toothbrush,shampoo,conditioner,deodorant brush,phone charger,pillow,socks,underwear, large hoody for the ride home

I only brought what I wore to the hospital, snook which I did not read bc I was too out of it and my cell phone.. They provide you most of what you need and honestly I was in and out of it the whole time so I didn't need much more than the tv being on

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
