I couldn't find the post, but what all did you take with you to the hospital?

You don't really need much. I took a robe, chargers, phone, small wallet, spare undies. I went to the hospital with a dress and sandals, and used the same when I was discharged. Took a small backpack to put my clothes when not wearing and to take any documents, medicine cups and spirometer back home.

DON'T pack a lot. Wear the gown they give you so if there's spillage or anything like that it's on their stuff and you can get a clean gown anytime you want. I wore 1 with the opening to the back and 1 with the opening to the front at the same time. That way when I went walking no one was getting a free show and I didn't have to worry about keeping it closed.

Phone charger with extra long cord, maybe something to read. They have stuff for you to wash your body and hair with that will get you by the 1 or 2 times you shower there. Wear home what you wear to the hospital just take clean panties(and have some spare) for when the cath comes out and slippers because they will want you walking around. Take everything you can extra home with you. You really don't need a lot in the hospital

      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!!
