onmyway11 43 Posted January 15, 2017 Any advise on what to bring? I'm scheduled Monday morning YIKES! I'm nervous and excited and a little worried about a slight head cold causing a reschedule but I'm ready. I'm down 25lbs and excited to start my journey! I've read to bring gas x strips to help with the gas, headphones and earplugs to drown out the hospital noise, loose clothing and chapstick. Am I missing anything?

tani 105 Posted January 16, 2017 Deodorant, tooth brush and toothpaste, a robe and slipper socks. Walking the halls in my hospital gown (or my nightgown) wasn't comfortable for me. The robe kept me covered an warm since I was always cold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
