sadie_mo 2 Posted February 9, 2011 Ok so I have my gas strips ,travel size goodies and clothes but what else do I need. I was wondering what under garments other found most comfortable as well as what they wish they would have packed. I just wonder if those who went ahead of me can tell me if there was anything they wish they would have brought after they got to Mexico . ?????????????

disp4so 3 Posted February 9, 2011 make sure you take a comfortable robe (for walking around after surgery) and loose/comfortable pants for the trip home. I wore sweats with elastic waist. You don't want anything rubbing against your incisions if you can help it. I had my surgery at Kaiser Richmond in California, about 2 hrs from home. good luck to you !!!!

MINI-Me 196 Posted February 9, 2011 A heating pad. That was a must-have for me. It helps so much with the gas-related shoulder pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxbins 625 Posted February 10, 2011 I wore granny panties home, no panties while in the hospital. I was worried my bra might rub the incision between my breasts so I was prepared to ask the nurses for a couple of gauze pads and some tape but I didn't need to, the bra band was above the incision. I second the heating pad, used it a lot and it helped. Oh, and slip-on slippers and slip-on shoes, you won't want to bend over much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
