You might want to take a sports bra to wear home (one that's not to tight). One of the incisions is right along the bra line and for the first month after surgery that's the only kind I wore so it wouldn't rub the incision.

There's a list of things you'll want to take and have for when you get back, but the bra is one that was never mentioned to me.

Re: new to all this

Hi Crystal....Dr. Aceves is GREAT! He's the best, you'll love him.I remember worrying about the same things when I was getting ready for surgery. It's all normal and we all go through the same things. You'll feel better when you get there and see the hospital and meet Dr. Aceves. He really does have a calming effect.What to pack... keep it light. You don't want to carry a bunch of heavy suitcases with you after surgery. I would bring a baggy pair of pants to wear home so nothing is pressing on your incisions. Bring your laptop if you want, there is wireless internet connection at the hotel and hospital.You'll love having WLS, it's the best thing you can do for yourself. You'll see!
