Congrats on the date!  A pillow for your tummy to keep it still in the car or coughing, sneezing, etc

That's great! I really used my chapstick in the hospital. Good luck!

Congrats on the date!  Don't forget a camera with batteries so your family can take plenty of pics for progerss.  Also, don't bother taking lots of stuff to read, you will be up and walking and not have a chance to sit and read much! Chapstick, a small pillow, your own shampoo and lipstick! LOL  Anything to make you feel good to yourself!  Good luck and keep us updated!

Congratulations!

I agree with the other posters on what to take the hospital.  I would add flip-flops for the shower and maybe an air freshner for the room.....like  a little febreeze spray.....but that is just me not liking a hospital smell.

For home, I had stocked up on protein shake mixes, Sugar Free puddings and jellos, broth, Sugar Free Fudgsicles and Popsicles ( I could often eat those when nothing else would "go").

Best of Luck to you

my lips were really dry... i took with me some aqua fina lip gel.... really worked good, had minty flavor as well..
i also had gas-x strips and chewable gas-x......
good luck,

Hi Gee,

I like Larson too!  He's a little eccentric but very nice none-the-less!!  Sara , his personal dietician, is great as well even if she's too skinny!!

Four people in my family have him as our surgeon (all bands).  That says a lot right there!

Be sure to ASK your questions early though when he sees you since when he thinks he's done....he's done!

Congrats and good luck!
