Question what to bring along pre/post surgery?

hello- I'm kind of new; I was doing research on banding late 2007. I finally have a surgery date. The last time i was on lbt.com, there was a great thread on what to bring with you pre and post surgery. I will be driving to Mexico for my procedure, and I was hoping to get tips here from all the pros on what to bring with me; necessaries and those little things that will help comfort in a time of discomfort...

If you live in SD, Dr. Gonzalez will have someone pick you up and take you home. The clinic is beautiful, the staff excellent and Dr. Gonzalez is excellent too. I only paid $6,750 for my surgery and all my fills are free for life. They quoted me $7,500, but I said that I only had $6,750 and they accepted my offer. I had the surgery a month ago and have lost 21 pounds. As far as what to take with you I brought my make up, a hair brush or comb, nite gown, panties, and that was it. The clinic that I had my surgery performed in that was in Mexico even had slippers with their clinic logo printed on them. I could not believe how beautiful the clinic was, it was on the 17th floor of a huge office building that overlooked the golf course. The floors were marble, my room had a beautiful bathroom with a shower, that had shampoo and conditioner that was in dispensers, it was just grand. By the way, there is very little discomfort. Also make sure that you have your ATM or Credit Card in case you have to get any prescriptions in Mexico. A Mexican Doctor cannot prescribe drugs that are purchased in the USA. My stomach swelled too much and my Dr. had to prescribe something for inflamation and some antibiotics, it cost a total of $95, so make sure that you have money or your plastic to buy anything you might need. Good luck!
