Congrats on your bypass. I had mine last month and the only things I used were a book to read, pajamas to wear, dry mouth spray, my reading glasses, a few pair of knickers, a jumper (as I was a bit chilly), slippers and my toiletries.

welcome hun and good luck for your op. Just take essentials. Toiletries, book PJ's mouth spray as you get very dry in hospital and sugar free squash to add to the water for a nice taste, clean undies and loose baggy trousers to go home in.
Best wishes to you and let us know how you get on when you are up to it xxxx

Good luck for Wednesday - have a good read through the forum - there's loads of good advice and what to expect in these threads

I took PJs , toiletries, towels (bath and hand), magazine, book (but didn't read it), mouth spray - sugar free squash is a great idea

Looking forward to see you on our Loser's bench!

As for not sticking to the pre-op diet, just do your best

Hi and good luck with your bypass. I did have a fairly long list of things to take, then I learned I would only be in for one night, so as everyone says I am only taking the essentials plus a pair of socks cos I always have cold feet!

 

[kathleen1960]

make sure you take VERY baggy clothes to come home in as I underestimated how swollen my tum would be after the op,(9 inches more than before) by the time i got home (3 hour drive) a combination of the anti blood clotting meds and tightish fitting elasticated waistband (was v loose before op) meant i had a badly bruised tum - bruising was all superficial though and has now gone was very uncomfortable though xx

 

[nicky72]
