The only things needed was the following:

Baggy clothes and slip on shoes to wear to the hospital

Chap stick

Brush, comb, lotion

Toothbrush and toothpaste

Cell phone ONLY

You leave with the same clothes you come in with.

Good luck!

Did you pick out your own shake or are you using a physician supplied one?

[gomekast 559]

There is a long list under the stickies of things to take with you. Its compiled by other members thatve had the surgery.

[TheWigster 70]

I way over packed. Didn't use my gowns at all. It was much easier using the hospital gown with all the iv's and heart monitors. Used the hospital socks and only used cosmetics the day I was discharged. They wouldn't let me shower until the. Morning I left the hospital. Took but didn't use Gasx, walking was much better.

[Tangy 61]

I've heard the gasx will not work because it is a different type of gas?? Any truth in this?

It worked great for me..took it for a couple days once I got home along with my heating pad.

That's what my surgeon said. I tried it when I got home anyways and it didn't work.

It will not work for the gas they fill your abdomen with because it's in your abdominal cavity, not your digestive tract. Only walking will help with the surgical gas. However, I did get quite bloated with actual intestinal gas a few days after surgery and the GasX did help with that. Used it 1-2 times a day for a couple weeks till my GI tract settled down and got used to digesting stuff again. The Pemix I was given postop helped with that, too since it increases GI motility.
