Ok 39 days to go till i go into hospital to get my gastric band installed lol...I have an overnight stay before surgery first thing the next day - I know there were other similiar threads but can't find them ... I bought new jim jams in the asda sale lol but thats it...... ideas?
Hi, I had my bypass op at the end of November and took what seemed like a mountain of magazines in with me, a couple of pairs of PJ's, dressing gown, slippers, wash kits etc etc and possibly the kitchen sink too.
I would suggest big baggy knickers (depending on how long you are in). A nightie if you are staying in the night after your op, definitely dressing gown and slippers and if you are able to concentrate then something to read. St Richards where I went were excellent and had towels, and everything you needed other than that.
The one thing someone said to me is remember that you will be bloated out and uncomfortable (now I'm not sure what they do during band surgery, it won't be as invasive as a bypass) but I would suggest your biggest baggiest clothes for wearing afterwards.
good luck with your surgery.
