umm going where? Surgery? first consult? Umm assuming you mean surgery....Well since everyone has such great lists of what to take, I like to share my weird ideas: If you have to do a bowel prep, get a big jar of Vaseline and coat your crack This will protect delicate skin from getting raw from the acids you'll expel. Take a tube of Blistex with you to the hospital, this helps a LOT with dry lips postop when you can't have even ice! Replace all the batteries in things you use regularly (TV control, VCR Controls, cordless phone, etc). Nothing worse than having to haul your butt of the couch 3 days postop just to change the channel. Also if you don't have a cordless phone, invest 5 bucks in a long cord for your phone so it can sit by you. Just TRY to 'run' for the phone postop lol. NOT! Pack your bag to go to the hospital and then remove HALF of that. You won't use it all! Promise! Take whatever will make YOU feel pretty postop. Some lipsticks, a hair brush deodorant, etc. - I was asked to not bring hairspray or perfume. Buy yourself a small bag of sugar-free peppermints. These are great if your queasy postop. Or peppermint tea. Hot tea is a great help in the mornings to relax the pouch. Ok, those are my 'tidbits' and GOOD LUCK! (((HUGS))), Toots

No advice, haven't been there and done that yet, but good luck on going in tomorrow. And make sure you don't forget that crack cream...sounds like a pretty good idea to me. Hope everything goes well for you! T--resa
