Hi all! Its getting close to my surgery date. 12/29/12 I'm a little scared and excited. What should I bring to the hospital? I know ppl say comfy clothes like do u mean a night dress or will that get in the way or comfortable pants and shirt? I never had surgery so help please... lol

Just something comfy to go home in and chap stick is all I really used that I took. I wouldn't take a bunch of stuff you won't need. If your not sleeping you are up walking. Take care and keep us posted :-)

You need nothing. I brought all this stuff and never oppened the bag. You are drugged up and if you are not sleeping you are walking. You have an IV all the while you are there so even a robe can not be put on. You need like a pair of sandles with a hard sole to walk in. Slides that are easy to put on. That is it.

I took my toothbrush, socks and slippers. Something comfy to wear home. Brought my regular meds, but didn't take while there anyway. Maybe a book to read.

Good Luck

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
