I'm so nervous! What should I bring? What should I be prepared for?

Being nervous is natural but it will be fine. You really don't have to take anything except clothes to come home in. They will have you up and walking. My surgery was 2 weeks ago and I was terrified but all was good. The first night was tough for me but I had such wonderful nurses that helped me through it. The next day they walked the halls with me and started me on ice chips. Just keep in mind "this is for a better and healthier you" that's what gets me through it

Yeah...it's pretty simple stuff these days (for most)... you may want to bring slippers if you don't want to walk around in the socks they give you... toothpaste and toothbrush, and your hairbrush... you know, some basics...but you are only there a few days, and I couldn't read anything... I was tired a lot...so I watched tv or slept and WALKED... you've got this!!! Congrats!

It's ok. All will be good. I got surgery tomorrow too. I didn't think I was nervous until another poster told me to stop stressing over my non pre-opt weight lost. Sometimes it manifest itself in ways u don't realize at first. Then I realize it's all out of my control. No use in worrying. I know easier said then done but keep busy. I packed my bathrobe, hygiene items, plenty of panties, my slippers, hair products I need and makeup. Seem a lot but it's took up little room in my overnight bag. My phone and other personal things will be with sister. Best wishes!
