Had to look at your location. you are in Australia lol. Its like 5am over there. Here in my part of the USA its late. Good luck with surgery. Bring your phone charger, maybe a magazine or book and or headphones if you want to listen to music after surgery. (I listed to music up until i got to the operating room. Tho my operating room had loud music playing when i got in. They were partying

You really don’t need much. I was happy I brought a long charging cord for my phone, headphones (I watch tv at night so I pulled up netflix and listened to that) and baggy pajama pants to wear under my gown when I walked the halls.

Both my surgeries I brought a bunch of stuff I thought I'd need, including my tablet, ereader, even my cpap machine. Didn't use a damn thing, not even the cpap. I was too busy trying to sleep in between having to get up and walk every two hours. I did a quick video chat on my phone with my kids after the more recent surgery, they weren't allowed into the hospital due to covid rules, but that was it, everything else stayed in my bag untouched.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
