What to Bring????

Hiya all,    I will be having WLS on the 9th at Durham. Just wanting to know is there any tips on what to bring or maybe what not to bring. Thanks alot Love this site I dont get to post as much as I would Like to, but  I do read the profiles for help, thank you for keeping them all upto date. Really means alot to us that have no Idea whats going to happen!! You all have a great day and May God Bless you and your familys!! ~CAT~

I suggest not bringing too much... out of everything I brought here is what I used Pillow Chapstick Cell Charger Face Cloths Face Lotion Body Lotion (im a lotion fanatic!) Deodrant Tooth Brush/Paste Comfy clothes to go home in/flip flops The hospital gave me socks to walk around in... better than slippers because you can just throw away before you leave... hospitals are germy so you want to only bring stuff you can wash in ho****er when you get home! They gave me 2 hospital gowns, one to wear and one to use as a 'jacket' so my butt wasnt hanging out :-) so I didnt need any jammies or anything. I brought books/magazines, ipod etc and didnt touch a single one :-)

In addition to what Jenn just said...  I took: My own gowns/robes (I HATE HATE HATE hospital gowns) Crocs or other good "Grippy" walking shoes My laptop and some DVDs A few books My makeup (I never leave home without it!) My hair dryer and flat iron (although I really did not use them) My cell phone and charger Good luck!  Your day will be here soon!!!

When I had surgery I was told to wear the hospital gowns. This was really the best advice ever. I also brought some lotions and powder and my baby wipes. Also it is recommended that you have a family member or friend stay with you during your stay. My husband was my angel during my surgery and I am so glad he was with me. Good luck to you with your surgery. You will be so happy you have chosen this.                                                Annie

HI THERE,   I SEE THAT MOST PEOPLE PRETTY MUCH TOLD YOU WHAT TO BRING ALREADY ......I TOOK ALONG WITH ME A LONG BODY PILLOW  OF MY OWN. THEY WILL GIVE YOU PILLOWS IN THE HOSPITAL....BUT THE LONG BODY PILLOWS ARE ALOT MORE SOFT AND OFFER MORE SUPPORT. ....I ALSO TOOK ALONG A EXTRA BLANKET FROM HOME AND A SCARF TO TIE MY HAIR UP. ( BECAUSE MINE WAS EVERYWHERE....LOL.....LOL)
