Does anyone have a list of things to bring or have for surgery.  I am scheduled for a body lift, breast lift and arm lift on December 9th with Dr. Capella and I want to start getting prepared.  Thank you so much in advance.

Hey Alice,

I am 18 days out from my extended TT and BL with Dr. Manjarrez. 

I OVERPACKED!!!!!  I had a carry on bag and a large purse and didn't need half of it.

One thing that was recommended by another board member is to take clothes to wear that you can leave.  That way you don't have to lug the dirty laundry home.

What I suggest taking with you:
snacks (high protein)
your regular vitamins/supplements
camisole type shirts for under your bra compression garment and body compression garment
book/mp3 player
socks
easy on/off shoes/slippers
crystal light to flavor bottled water
chap stick
lanyard to hang drains on while you shower
gum
personal toiletries


while I was in the hospital I wore regular hospital gowns.

What I really wish I had done was...pack my suitcase and then remove half of it!

Good luck, Nancy
