wow guys i have 4 more days until my WLS... im so so nervous... i have butterflys in my stomach.... i guess taking this step is like meeting a new love... .... any tips on what i should take with me to the hospital... i dont wanna over pack... thanks!!!!

Jessica, Mine is 11 days to go and it's killing me here.... What a big change we are making for the better in out lives.... I am taking with me my slippers, panties, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant and mouthwash. Oh yeah and my chapstick. Some say you might not need all that but I am taking it with me just in case.....Oh something else people have been telling me to bring, my pillow...yeah can't forget that.... I hope that helped some.... Take care Debra P

Hey Jessica, Who is your surgeon?

Good Luck Jessica!! You will do great!! I bought a ton of stuff, but the only things I used were toothbrush and toothpaste, definately mouthwash, deodorant, slippers, and my walkman... and yes, as Debra said, definately a soft pillow for when you need to cough and for the ride home... helps with the bumps and turns... some peeople also mentioned ear plugs, it can be a bit noisy at night and they will help you sleep and eye mask... so you can cover your eyes when you sleep, you might get a noisy neighbor who keeps the lights, and the tv blasting all night.... I've heard stories! Hope I helped! Gia
