So I am leaving for Toronto tonight so I can be bright eyed for my surgery tomorrow. What I need to know is am I supposed to be packing my measuring cups, spoons, and protein supplements for the hospital or are they provided.....as well I am bringing my vitamins, am I supposed to? .....

I think I packed enough stuff, even had room for a straightener so I can tame my bangs after I shower......I'm such a girl lol....

Oh and sorry if this msg shows up strange its written on my phone

Thanks for the Help

Erin

The only thing to bring is your CPAP if you have one...until you are out of surgery and in your room you don't need anything.  I did not have a shower for the time I was there (2 days ) but had a wash down from the Nursing staff.
I did rent the TV so that I could time when I could have my next mouthful...about every 2nd commercial, so if you do not want a tv there bring a watch to use...
Toothbrush, toothpaste and Deodorant and a comb or brush...and something for your feet as you will probably be up and walking around the next day...
I had my husband hold on to eveything until the day after surgery...
Good luck !!! It is an amazing feeling this journey that we are all taking or trying to take...

Good luck tomorrow - things will be so different for you!

Had RNY surgery July 22/11, St. Joe's Hamilton, with the awesome Dr. Scott Gmora.  Had abdominoplasty August 2/13, Scarborough, with equally awesome Dr. Michael Kreidstein.

Don't forget to have a pillow in the car. Put it between your tummy and seat belt for a comfy ride home. Good luck tomorrow and we will see you on the bench!
