I see that some ladies wore spanx.. What style did you get to help you out in the tummy area after surgery?

Thank you SOOOOO much for this list!!! I had one started and got some great ideas from this. Would never have thought about chapstick, but it makes sense. Thanks again!!

A good tip I saw elsewhere is to put your own pillow in a bright or ugly pillow case so you won't forget it and so the nurses don't accidentally take it

My nurse ok'd some sugar-free Halls Vitamin C drops. My throat hurt so bad, I was really glad I brought these to suck on once they determined I had no leaks and were letting me have small sips of Water.< /p>

im definitely going to keep it simple. from past hospital stays, bringing too much almost always ensures that I wont use any of it. LOL. Ill be bringing the contents of my pocketbook, some Spanx to hold myself together as I like to say (I have some looser types that I used after the birth of my children), my cell phone, a bar of soap and a soft washrag (I cannot stand the hard washcloths at the hospital) and a change of loose fitting clothing. my hospital is always good about supplying toothbrushes and toothpastes, pillows, etc. etc. i'll be too busy resting to read...and I wont have time for much else, as i'll only be in the hospital 24 hours if all works well.

Bottom line: All you will need most is a promise to yourself you will commit to maintaining your wieghtloss and not sabotage all you go through to get there!

I just want to say thank you to all the people who have had their surgery and still come to this forum and post. I've read through this entire thread and it seems like most people come before their surgery and then disappear. That doesn't help me at all. What helps me is reading the posts from the people who are taking this journey, through the highs and the lows. You have lots of wisdom to share and a lot of new people who are eager to read your posts. Thanks again.

Why Chapstick ?

I wore the tank top one that you wear underneath your bra. I bought it at Walmart for $12, it was my last purchase after surgery! I wish I'd thought diet before my surgery.

Laptop with cord (install Skype or some other voice chat to save on phone calls!), books, magazines, stuffed animal, some sort of crafts (e.g. knitting), Spanish dictionary if you're heading to Mexico - might not be necessary, but why not improve your Spanish while there?

Is that really you in your profile pic? How much did you weigh before you started the process? How tall are you? You look amazing! Great job! You should be so proud of yourself!

Hola Sleevers,

I edited the list for Mexico Sleevers and attached it in both a Word and pdf format.
