What To Bring to hospital?

Hey All,

Just wondering what all you recommend bring to the hospital for your surgery?

Thanks,

Mel

Slippers, robe, medications, a book if you are a reader, loose fitting clothing for going home, pillow for trip home. They will talk to you about this at your pre-op appointment.

Toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash - helps with the dry mouth!  Lip Balm - takes your mind off the dry mouth!  lol  You will be so tired that you won't have to worry much about entertaining yourself - plus you will be up walking around to get rid of that gas & get your blood circulating when you're awake.  There is a TV/family room on each floor if you get bored...  Oh, and take your binder because the nurses that will be looking after you have little knowledge of what you should be focused on after surgery (well, after wls anyway)...  Hope that helps!!  :)

PS - C-Pap if you use one

a drive home  they   only kept me over nite  hopefully they will keep you for several days they let me out to quick    jacqueline
