Hi!

I'm due to be banded on Monday. and was wondering what many of you take to the hospital on the day of surgery? Any advice to calm my nerves

Thanks

The only thing I really brought with me, was an extra pair of clothes (something comfy) to wear on the day I got to go home. My family brought my phone & laptop for me after the surgery, so I wouldn't be bored just laying there. I was never good with keeping still if I didn't have something to occupy myself with.

Sweats, sweatshirt, comfortable shoes. Bare minimum and it's all about comfort

I took ear plugs and was so glad I did. My roommate snored the whole night. Also- lip balm like Chapstick. Your lips will be very dry.

Some kind of slip on shoes (I had flip flops) to walk all you can after you wake up, and a robe -- but they probably have them at the hospital. I brought a few tea bags as I I am such a tea person. You will do great!

My most essential ,laptop ,headphones ,a book ,hand and face cream ,lipbalm ,flip flops and just relax.I was in a private room so I just watched Tv.You will be fine.

If your on this site look at where it says Magazine on the top and click on there then go to lapband surgery , and it will take you there then on the right look where it says pre op and it will give you some good info. on what you should take , then you can always look at post op also to be pre pared, good luck.

Comfy clothes, lip balm and phone charger and I was set. Good Luck!

Mine was a day procedure, but I did pack lip balm, warm and cozy socks, and super comfy, loose clothes to wear home. I also brought all my medications with me, as well as Gas X, so I was prepared for afterwards. When I got home, I kept my bag on my bed with me, so I didn't have to reach for anything.

I just took me and my gasX.
