Questions

I have a few questions if any one can answer. My surgery is coming up and I was needing to know what I should take with me to the hospital. Should I take PJs, house shoes, etc....... I just want to make sure I have everything I need (I'm having Lap. RNY) and how long will the healing time take? Any one that can help me out I would appreciate it. THANKS Brenda

What I did NOT take that I wished I had: good pillow(s). The bed and pillows were awful. I took my nightgown & robe plus slippers and used them. I had lap band - was just in one night...

Hi Brenda, I had the lap rny in April and I will tell you what I remember most at the hospital is being bored. Take something that will occupy your time. I really wasn't in any pain and went walking a lot. I agree that you will want your own pillow. I also wished I would have had lotion cause my skin got seriously dry. Don't forget your toothbrush. I couldn't have lived without my toothbrush that first day, since I couldn't have anything but a few ice chips, being able to brush my teeth was awesome! I can't think of anything else....if I remember something important I will post again! lots of good wishes, Genie
