Jennifer,
Congrats on your completion of your appt's. and 5% weight loss ! You will be on the losing side in no time ! As far as advice on the hospital and returning home , I am looking forward to hearing from other's as well as I am scheduled for surgery on the 20th and may be even a possibulity of them moving it up to this Friday ! 
So as far as advice on those things what I have done is packed my robe , slipper's a pillow for the ride home , some books and mag's to read , lip balm ,my own pillow from my bed , deoderant and my own hair brush .
I am going to wear some loose clothing there and wear the same home .
Oh and I also packed some makeup !
As far as home , I have just stocked up on the foods that I will be more able to tolerate per my surgeons instuction's and cleaned the crap out of my house and still doing so ! I tend to do that when I am nervous anyway's !
I have also purchased my daily vitamans that I will be taking for the rest of my life as well as some Ducolax suppositories and pills just to be prepared if the ugly constipation strikes !
That is pretty much what I have done at least so far !
I wish you all the best and wish you a whole lot of success with this journey !
Take Care !

Jennifer,
Hun I am glad you are close and these last 37 days will go quick.. 
I know that when I went to the hospital I took things I never used because they give you what you need BUT I was SOOO glad that I had my home pillow with me..
Gave me comfort for some reason. 
Oh yeah and good thing I had a change of underwear because I was one of the lucky ones that I got my period the day AFTER surgery. 
That was so bad!! Make sure you have your protein at home and all your vitamins.
Iwish you the best on weighing in hun. Let us know.. ~Hugs~ I wish you all the best!

Hi Jennifer,
Just remember to bring capstick and hand cream! Those are the kind of things you forget about and miss completely when you do not have them! I should know!!
Anyway, I wish you nothing but the best on your journey. Please keep us updated on you, ok? Take care. xoxo
Hugs
