Packing for surgery Monday! Any tips on things I definitely need to have?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I packed, tooth paste/brush, hair brush, my prettiest nightgown,slippers and robe (I wanted to feel pretty which is not always easy right after surgery)

--my favorite perfume so I could smell like "me" and not "hospital".

I also took a chapstick, cellphone and charger and

my rosary--can't hurt, right?

Please post as soon as you feel up to it. We are not only nosy, but we care--really we do.

Scooching over on the, "Losers' Bench" to make room for you, my friend.

See you on the other side.

Prayers going up.

Did you get to wear your night gown in the hospital ?

I'm having surgery on Monday too! Hey girl! I'm packing light. Pajamas cell phone charger (I got a 6 ft one) slippers sweater iPad toothbrush n toothpaste glasses Chapstick. Wearing sweat pants there and home. Not too tight around waist. Wishing you a safe surgery. See you on the losers bench!

Chapstick, a heating pad, phone/charger, extra underwear, and a pillow for the ride home. Everything else (toiletries, no slip socks, etc. was provided by the hospital).

Yes, I did and it made me "less patient" and more "me". (it had poodles all over it, so I felt close to my standard poodle fur babies).

Thank you all so much! I'm really excited about getting this done and my support system has been wonderful. @@FabFemale I will say a prayer for you! I don't have to report to the hospital until 11:30am which is later than what I thought it would be but it will give me time to make sure everything at home is in order for my hubby and the kids.

Ni, Ni, ladies. Now go to bed!!!

The sun will rise on your new and exciting journey. Enjoy the path, brace for the bumps, but always strive for the rainbow.

Prayers going up for you

I'm not up to packing yet but advice from a friend was to bring a pillow to hold for the car ride home for your abdomen if it's a bumpy ride and a back scratcher for those hard to reach places oh and I hear Chapstick is a necessity !! Good luck
