Kathy I've just returned from my pre op < my surgery is on June 23rd > and I've got some really good advice re: things to bring to the hospital They pointed out to make sure to have Lip Balm because you get medicine that "dries you out" during the surgery, also Hair Clips, since you probably wont get to wash your hair for a few days, so you want to be albe to pull the hair out of your face , and deodorant !!! Also, slippers and socks are important, a robe for walking around the hospital and loose fitting clothes for going home. Of course, paper, books, magazines, a gameboy, ( for us big kids ) to kill time , since the 101 cable stations usually have nothing on to watch Good Luck! Andrea
