The only thing I took for my band to bypass revision was chapstick, a change of clothes, house coat.  I walked a lot so I really didn't feel like reading. Watched TV some.  Played on lap top some. 

I would not recommend buying a lot of supplements until you figure out what you are going to like.  Your taste will definetly change with the bypass.  You will probable not like the same things.  I have a protien drink that I love and sometimes I cannot stomach it now.  I need a vanilla or something different.

The other thing I felt was important were a pair of tongs and some baby wipes.  I wanted to be as independent as possible in the hospital and those saved me.  Also bring your own socks, slippers, my feet were always cold.

Best of luck,

I couldn't have survived without lip balm.

OMG Chaptstick saved my life! I am so glad I had that....everything else was a waste to carry! Everything you really need they give you. Though I did bring my own pillow from home and that was awesome!!! Really like the baby wipe things but I think they might have them there, bringing them would not be bad.
