I will be having my surgery there on Nov. 6th and appreciate all the info everyone has provided.  Was there anything you wish you brought with you to the hospital?

My 1 must have is some sort of lip balm - my favorite is Burt's Bees but any will do.  The hospital provides gowns designed for obese patients, the slipper socks (you might want your own slippers.  

I didn't need any reading material (I was way too groggy for reading or playing on the computer).  Bring loose pants and shirt for ride home, and a small pillow to hug (stabilize your stomach) on the ride home - bumps hurt and hugging a pillow helps!

Congrats on picking a GREAT surgeon - I think Dr. Averbach is wonderful!

I had my surgery just after the new wing was opened. The nurses were wonderful to me - no complaints whatsoever.  The room was lovely - mine wasn't a weird shape as mentioned in an earlier post.  Each room was private with a private bathroom - very nice for recovery.  Best part for me was the view as I did my walks in the halls - great view of Baltimore and the stadiums!  

I have been very please with Dr. A, his staff, the nutritionists, and the nurses and other staff at St. Agnes.
