Surgery tomorrow- What to take?

I am having outpatient lapband surgery tomorrow morning.  THis is what I am planning to take/wear.  If you have any other suggestions that would be great!  I am terrified I am forgetting something.

Wearing:
elastic waist capris
flip-flops
undershirt
zip-up sweatshirt

Already bought in prep:
thermometer
heating pad
liquid tylenol
gas-x
witch hazel
protein shakes

I know I am missing stuff!  Is there anythign that came in useful for you that I do not have included?  Anything you took with you that I might need?  I am taking a pillow and chapstick since I will only be there for a couple of hours "alert".  LOL

Thanks for any suggestions!

Sounds like you have most everything covered. I was in and out of the hospital so fast, all I needed was the clothes on my back! Just have plenty of liquids for drinking,(I mean sipping) Good Luck!

The key is not what you take to the hospital (unless you're like me and need a C-PAP machine, but even that the hospital can usually provide if you stay in).

What you really need to be thinking about is what you have at your house after you get home. I'm sure your doctor gave you a list. Make sure you have those things at home for the week or so before you can get out and to the store.  One of the things I didn't have enough of was soup and sugar-free popsickles. I had too much sugar-free Jello!

Good luck!

 Thank you for the support!  I didn't think of having enough soup at home.  I am kind of sick of these protein shakes, so broth might be a nice change of pace afterwards.  

Congratulations!
 
Might sound crazy but bring a pillow for the car ride home.............hold it on your stomach, it will make the ride home more comfortable.... provides support and will also help to have something between you and the seat belt. For me it was a big help.....stopped my stomach from giggling around LOL!!!!

Will be making room for you on the losers bench!!!!

Sounds like a good list!  Good luck with your surgery tomorrow!  Let us know how it goes.
