Nope looks like you have it all... I didn't want to do anything but lay there until the nurses made me get up and walk... so get a lot of rest during your hospital stay... because the nurses will be messing with you the entire time (checking your vitals, making sure your up and walking around to get the blood circulating.) Get ready... your whole world is about to change....

Good Luck and hope everything goes well!!!

I'm exactly 1 month out and 30Lbs down! You will see the results immediately!

I can probably guarantee you wont need half of your list... but like me, I just *might* need it!  ha ha!

The drugs are great and I slept most of the time, chapstick is a must though. :)

Good luck, sweetie!

Oooh, you're gonna be an active patient!  I was sooo drugged I could hardly move, let alone use my laptop, chat on the phone or read a book.  You are way more ambitious than me!  Really, I used a hairbrush, chapstick, slippers, a pillow and loose clothes for the ride home.  The hospital provided a toiletry kit.

All the best to you, girlie!  I am so excited for your new journey.  You are launching into one of the most exciting transformations of your life!!!

I know I sipped water, slept, and walked laps...literally that was about it.   I brought a huge stack of magazines and never opened one of them.   But better safe than sorry.   I think your chapstick and comfy clothes will come in handy more than anything!   Best of luck, and let us know how you are doing when you feel up to it. ~ Leslie
