Surgery in two weeks both my son and I will be having the sleeve done....what should I pack....don't want to be without any comforts of home but don't want to over pack.
I took a book bag only. I put a change of undies for each day..3 shirts..shorts to sleep in and wear as the weather was perfect. I wore a pair of scrub pants there and those are the pants I wore home. Take a thin jacket for flight home. I was really cold flying home. Congrats and it is awesome there !!!
Oh jeeze I have a list but I'm OCD.
Gas X, comfy stretchy clothes, tooth brush and paste, your favorite broth to add hot water in, Gatorade was so nice to sip on once u r allowed to sip, Flip flops, iPad or tablet to stay in touch. if you have an iPhone download a Spanish translator app, mine actually spoke, I would talk English and I would say it in Spanish, it really was handy.

Take Neosporin and oversized bandaids for hotel aft surgery. What they give you is lousy n Neosporin is expensive there. Tablet ,internet a ess at hospital and hotel is free. I took unjury chicken protein powder and unflavored to make or add to broth which gave protein those 1st cpl days. Also hard to get broth at airport. Gas x , chewable multi vitamin 2per day, 3 days worth. All else same as above. Flipflops n comfy clothes . Good luck
They specifically tell you NOT to use neosporin.
