Not too long ago, there were several lists on what to take to the hospital, what to buy for after the hospital, etc... Would someone please point me in that direction? And how do I get this stupid "ticker" to come up on every post?? It keeps dissappearing.

Not sure on the ticker- Sorry!

But as far as the hospital list:

stretchy, loose pants to go home in (nothing that it too tight or fitted at the tummy area), large bed pillow for the car if you are traveling to hold over your tummy, something to read if you get bored with tv, your own nightgown/robe, hairbrush, slippers or nonslick socks. I had a whole big list from Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies which was great, but really the hospital provides everything you need- so no worries- you'll have what you need. Good luck!
