Some info...

Everyone that I have spoken with who has gone through this surgery has told me to make sure and bring a small fan and slippers. Just thought I would pass this info along. If anyone knows of anything else important to bring, please let me know! - JJ

Thx for that info. I will add them to my list . ~Amanda

A small fan huh? That's interesting. I wonder what that would be for. Thanks for the tip. I'm so hot natured as it is Deb

My best girlfriend had open RNY on 11/13/03 and she said to bring a cushy pillow to place over your stomach for when you sneeze or cough. I believe they give you something in the hospital, but she had this cute stuffed puppy dog and I thought it was more personable. So, I bought a stuffed Dora doll to lay across my stomach. I thought it would be something nice to keep my spirits up while I'm in the hospital. The pillow is good to have whether you're having it open or lap. Kelly
