Well, tomorrow is the big day.

I've done all the testing, the vampires have drained my out (OMG on Thursday they took 6 tubes of blood out of me, and since I haven't been eating much lately I almost fainted. How embarrassing) had an issue with my blood pressure but my PCP gave me some new medication and it’s under control.

I was weighted in at the doctors office on Monday and I weighted 262 lbs. (original weight in was 273 lbs) for me that’s amazing. I have not lost real weight in YEARS. It’s amazing what you do when you really want something

Well tomorrow I have to be at the hospital at 6:00am, surgery is scheduled for 9:00am. It’s in Burbank which is only about 30 mins away with no traffic.

So ladies and gents, what are the essentials that I need to bring with me? Any suggestions are very much welcome at this time

YAYYYYYYYYYYYY I am going to be thinking about you tomorrow... Do you have a forum buddy that is going to get a call/text when you get out of surgery? and if not... let me know... I'll do it. We worry about our own when they go for the surgery, and its always a relief to hear they made it out of surgery ok, and are doing fine.

Take with you.. Chapstick (everyone says that), earplugs (I hate hospital noise), something to do, your cell phone charger, some comfy clothes for the ride home... and most important.. a positive attitude!!

I cant stand it lol too much good news in one day ... Im going to rupture something!

YiPEEEE. Ok so I am guess me saying chapstick is over doing it. But I highly recommed dragging along your own pillow. A nice big comfortable one.

I could have gotten by with chapstick, a comb, and comfy clothes to go home in. Best wishes on your big day! The next part of your journey begins.

Yeah...congrats. I took tons of stuff and didn't even open my suitcase once except to go home. The chapstick was the only thing I made my hubby bring me. GL and keep us posted!

I would definately take a toothbrush and toothpaste - I was nauseaous from the anethesia, and was thankful that I had taken one with me.
Good Luck!
