I'm trying to decide what I need to take to the hospital.  I'm only supposed to be there one night, so I don't want to overpack.  So far, I know I need:
Pajamas
toiletries
slippers
cpap
ipod
Kindle

Those of you that have had your surgery at Weight Wise, can you think of anything else I need?

Thanks!!

The only thing that I needed and did not bring was chapstick. I used the hospitals gowns the whole time and my flip flops to roam the halls.

Also hand lotion is a necessity if you are like me and have dry skin =0)

ditto on the lip balm and flip flops or other easy to slip on shoes.  I just wore something big and loose and then put that back on after surgery and went home in it.  I didn't shower until I went home but I only stayed one night at WW.

I ditched that breezy hospital gown the first time I got out of bed to go to the bathroom.  I wore big, loose jammie pants and a t-shirt with flip-flops.  By the way, I was out of bed within an hour of getting back to my room from recovery.  I walked, walked, walked to get the gas out of my tummy.  I actually felt great considering I had major surgery.

You can bring the Kindle but I really doubt you will find time to read unless you are staying more than 1 night.

Good luck!  Welcome to the bench next Wednesday!

I have maintained for one year at this point.  I am steady at -120 pounds.  =)

Thanks everyone.  I'm a notorious overpacker, so I wanted to make sure I didn't show up to the hospital with an entire suitcase!  I'm packing today since I won't have much time to spare before the surgery.
