Now it really is the night before

holy s**t!!!!!! Picture a deer picture a deer in headlights that's me! I haven't even packed cause I really don't know what else to bring other than robe, slippers, toothbrush, and pillow. Is there anything I may be forgeting that you all found helpful?

Hi Amy, sounds like you got it covered. Maybe a book or a magazine to read (if you can get the energy to read) Oh, I also took a brush, and some deodorant. You'll be fine girl!! I'll keep you in my prayers. See you on the losing side! Becky

Amy sending prayers your way. Don't forget something for your lips, they get dry.

Amy, I wish you the best and most sucessful journey. I hope you look past the first few days and may God give you the patience to remember that you will get better everyday! I wish you a restful nights sleep and peace of mind. Regards... (one month post-op...-45 pounds size 22/24 pre-op, size 18 now! YEAY!)

Wow, Amy! I remember that night before! I'm a year out and loving life. As far as what to bring, I had a list of about 25 things, but I only used a little. I was ecstatic to put on underwear after they took out the catheter. I also used wipes and powder to freshen up, since I couldn't take a shower. Other than that, I didn't even open the bag I brought. I didn't want to use my own pjs, because I wasn't clean, I guess. Anyway, blessings to you! Laura

Chapstick or blistex is a definite. Other than that pretty much everything else stayed in the bag. Good luck.

You will do fine!! We will be thinking of you. Don't worry about stuff. I didn't use most what I took. You really aren't there that long and then you will be back home. Keep us informed. Carol
