Chapstick. Pajama bottoms for walking the halls. Your hairbrush and your favorite moisturizer. I don't know why, but my skin dries out in hospitals and hotels!

A paperback book or a few magazines to help pass the time. Basic personal care items of your own, though they can normally furnish something. Glasses case if you wear glasses, Some comfortable clothes to wear home, especially loose and/or elastic waist pants. In my hospital, they had me wearing a gown and little socks with rubber nubbies on the bottom to make them nonskid, on an IV, and controlled what I ate and drank, so there was only so much to really think of.

I took a can of Avene spray Water to keep my skin hydrated in addition to the lip balm.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
