Getting Banded and need to pack!

I am getting reading to pack up for my lap band next month (23 days). I was wanting some advice on what I should take, I am going alone. I read a lot of post for ones that are having/had RNY, should I take similar things, can someone help that has had the lap band? S Williams

Hi, Bring some comfortable cloths with elastic waist, comfortable shoes, PJs, slippers, the usual toiletries and plenty of Gas X. If you are going by yourself, make sure your bag has wheels because you wont be able to lift much after surgery. Also, bring some DVDs, and, if you don't speak Spanish, a phrase book would be good. Try not to pack a lot of stuff. Nicky

Thanks!!
