Preperation-What do I need?

Oct 08, 2011

So, I'm trying to write down a list of questions, things to buy, and things to do in the next 4 weeks before my surgery, and I'm coming up with very few things. I'm hoping that people will help me out and give me some hints. This is what I have so far:

Questions for the Dr.:

I've heard the chances of having gallbladder problems after surgery are HUGE and that some surgeons go ahead and remove the gallbladder at the time of the RNY- do you/what are your thoughts? Does my history of having chronic kidney stones have any bearing on that?


Things to buy:

Single blender (magic bullet?)
Lots of sugar free: popsicles, jell-o, pudding, chx broth, beef broth
Listerine strips/other breath fresheners (sugar-free)


Brint to hospital:

Pillow to hug for on the way home
chapstick


So, I would LOVE it if people would add to my list here. I'm sure it will grow by leaps and bounds as I go back through the forums and such. 

Love you all and so happy to have found my peeps!!!
