[NOMOREyoyo]

I am off to the Czech Rep for gastric wrap, depart Stansted 15th Jan....
HELP I HAVE NO IDEA AT ALL WHAT TO TAKE, other than mobile fone, passport, money & myself??????
I need a list - I'd rather have too much than not what I want

Baggy clothes and some analgesia, see if your GP will give you some on prescription before you go. Good luck x

Pain relief in dispersible or liquid form, something to read or keep you occupied - it may not be easy to get hold of English books/magazines/papers - ipod, phone charger, non wired bra for journey home, travel pillow to go between tummy and plane seatbelt, preferred toiletries and skin care products!

For other ideas look at people's threads and decide how important the things people mention are to you.

Thought I might invest in a Kindle - easier than dragging a mountain of books about and the way I read...... I've got my tablet so can go on internet as its WIFI, I'll prob wait for the 'sales' to get pj's/slippers/new dressing gown etc.
Thanks and the other threads have been really helpful

be careful about the amount you DO take with you, remember after surgery you shouldnt be lifting anything too heavy (mahoosive suitcases!!) so try and go as light as possible xx

My mum and I are sharing a case as she is coming with me, that way i can pull it on the way out and she can on the way back lol

You can download Kindle onto any smartphone, tablet , laptop. Dont waste money on buying an actual one. xxx

 

[shana]

Do any of you wrappers have any knowledge of the pre op diet

 

[nikshikari]
