Clean underwear to wear home (I wore the clothes that I wore to the hospital home).

Chapstick

Biotene spray

A pillow for the ride home

Phone/charger. My mom went to the hospital with me so I gave her my phone with strict instructions not to give it back to me until I was no longer loopy. She used it to keep my friends in the loop via text since a few wanted updates.

A hot pad.

The best thing I took was my mom!

As little as possible. I took my charger for iPhone/iPad, clean pair of undies, and socks.

I mostly went minimalist. Brought a clean set of clothes, phone charger and a handheld game console. Didn't really need anything else.

Wipies! Trust me. You want these. I brought lavender moisturizing ones, and they honestly felt like heaven.

You won't use much but it sure is nice to have it in case you need it! All good ideas here. Here are some things I had it WISH I had when I was there: chapstick, phone charger, Gas-X strips, Biotene, hair tie / headband, heating pad and ear plugs.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
