surgery approved! any reccomendations on what to bring to the hospital and what to have on hand at home???

CONGRATULATIONS! How exciting!! I'm a preop, so I can't give you suggestions of what to bring to the hospital from experience, but I've heard some of the things you'll want in the hospital are: * Slippers with rubber soles for traction * Lip balm for chapped lips * Magazines to read (book if you think you'll be able to focus on it) * cpap or bipap machine if you use it * Medicines you currently take * loose, non-binding clothing to wear home Good luck on your surgery! Do you have a date yet? Sue

Awesome!! Congrats, let us know when you get your date! Amy

Congratulations !!! I see you are with Dr Burrowes. He is really great. I think the only thing I actually used of my own was chapstick. If you are going to Atlanta Medical Center, they provided everything I needed. Even a little kit with toothpaste & toothbrush. Good Luck !!!
