Hi, I'm new.  I am scheduled for VSG on the 27th of this month.

Is there anything I should bring or do to help make my hospital stay more pleasant?

Sorry if this is a common question found elsewhere.

I haven't had my VSG yet but from what I have read and see consistently is chap stick. 

VSG on 6/12/2013.  Surgery weight 251 lbs.

your own toothbrush and paste and shampoo and conditioner - I hate the hospital grade stuff.

comb or brush

the plug for your phone to charge it -

a laptop or kindle HD to keep in touch with family online.

they supplied my slippers and I am fine with their gowns - I just wear two, one in front and one in back.

Yeah, Chap stick will be your best friend right after surgery since you can't drink or eat anything,

Extra pillow from home for your stomach cause when you want to get up, your stomach will hurt so if you put a pillow on it when you get up.

toothbrush, phone charger,

camera ! TAKE PICTURES. for memories and to look back after you lose the weight (:

theres not much things you need to stay, it's only 2 nights. but if theres any completions for anyone that's a longer stay.

BECAUSE, my fiancee' is in her VSG right now, i'm waiting in the waiting room for her
