looking for anyone with info on what items to have at home following surgery. I am having a hard time trying to see my nutritionist prior to my surgery(that sure is a switch lol) Also, suggestions on what may be good to take to the hospital. I am having RNY open, so I wil be there for about 5 days. Thanks!

Oohh yes good idea . I really need to know what all to take. a good idea would be to post on the boards where people have already had the surgery.

Hi Amanda, my surgery is june 9th. I was on the main message board, and a list of thing's too take to the hospital was there. Here is what was suggested: chap stick, roomy bath robe, slip on slipper's, personnel fan, a pillow, back scratcher, walkman, book's, loose cloth's to wear home, tooth brush, tooth paste, lotion, baby wipe's, anti-bacterial hand gel, pad's( because you can start cycle after), and another sick suggestion, was tong's, for using baby wipe's in hard to reach area's. I think I will deal with that problem when it come's.lol Good luck too you. Bye , janina

I'm sure this will be the only place you need to go!!! http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=N1017180811&NoStatic=1 Sharon is a great lady, and I can't tell you how much her sight has ment to me!!! Good luck, and God Bless
