6 more days to go!!!!

I'm so anxious. Time is crawling. I'm going to see the anesthesiologist today. My last appointment before surgery. Any tips on what to take to hosp. I'm having RNY Lap. I don't want to lug anything extra..Take care everyone. ~Janet~

The bariatric nurses told me to bring a gown to change into the second day, a book, my cippie cup. They said the first day you wear the hospitol gown and most wear theirs the second day, and a comfortable sundress or gown and robe home. Mine is in 5 days, Im so excited and ready to go, Congratulaiotns to you, see ya on the loosing side.

Janet, I am one day behind you!! I have a list for the hospital that includes: baby wipes, slippers or grippy socks, toothbrush, brush, ear plugs, chap stick, son's picture and CD player. I am going to stick with the hospital gown since my pjs are pathetic and I am really not a nightgown person-prefer shorts and tshirt. Some people have suggested to take a long handled wooden spoon to use for bathroom duties since you may not be able to reach. See you on the losing side, Lynne

I took way too much with me last week. Could have got by with just my toothbrush, toothpaste, noxema, clean undies, slippers, my ipod and reading material. As it was I packed a couple pair of pjs since they thought I could be there more than 3 days, and extra clothes, too much reading material. And I went home after only two days.
