Have been wanting this for almost a year now and it will happen for me on Dec 12th at 8:30 am. My dream of becoming a healthier me is coming true. What should I know about what I need to bring to the hospital? And what other advise you can share with me?

I'm December 12th as well at 10 am. I've heard Chapstick toiletries, loose clothes to wear home and a pillow to hold on your stomach for the ride home. Good luck to you! It's getting real isn't it? Also a cell phone if you have one.
