Hi all,

I'm being banded on Tuesday. I am compiling a list of necessities to take with me for an overnight stay.

So far, I have:

1. Chapstick.

2. Tooth paste/tooth brush.

3. hair brush.

4. Video camera (I am documenting my journey on Youtube).

If anyone else has any suggestions, please let me know. :smile2:)

Thank you,

Paulette )

A small pillow for the bumps on the way home or a sneeze or cough. Some really loose soft comfortable clothing and a non underwire bra or sports bra. There is one incision just below the bra line that smarts a little. Looks like you are good other than that.

easy on/off shoes (not slippers, because people tend to drag those) to walk in. You should be walking quite a bit. And if you wear contacts, even if they are the ones designed for overnight wear, they won't let you wear them in the OR.

AND...your cell phone

Thank you so much! Yep, I forgot to put down a pillow and the sport bra!.

Thank you restless, I have some of those plastic-type clog looking shoes that I wear a lot. I think those will be good. I don't have to bend over or anything.

Thank you so much!

Couch drops for the sore throat. From having the tube down your throat.

Take a laptop if you have one---just to stay up to date:tongue:.
