My day is coming up 20 May 09 I will be on the table.  I'm so excited I can hardly wait!!!  Any tips on what to take to the hospital would be appreciated.  I hope I don't have a long recovery.  This will be a revision from the lap band to VSG.  Anyway see y'all at the bench...........

Congrats!!!  May 20th will be here before you know it.  You will need very little other than some personal hygiene items, a change of clothes (with an elastic wasteband) a robe and slippers.  You will only be there one night typically and when you aren't sipping and walking you will be dozing from the anesthetic!!!  I'm sure others will chime in here.  Good luck to you!

This is the ride of my life.....what an amazing tool I now have!!!

Congratulations!!  I wore some big elastic capris and put them back on after surgery and just wore those till I went home the next day.  A big loose shirt too cuz you will be swollen and won't want your clothes being tight.  Bring chapstick or lip balm.

go get some no sugar popsicle tropicals for the freezer for when you get home and want something other than water.

Congratulations on your date. I took shower gel, shampoo, deodorant, clean underwear, socks, and my cpap. I wore loose clothes to the hospital so I could wear them home.

Hi Emily, 

This might sound dumb.  What is a cpap?
