I took a bra that I wore when I was nursing. It opened in the front and was very comfy. If you are amply bosomed this will help them not sit on top of your incision.

Wanted to share my list, so far...

Only a month until surgery! Any suggestions that for items that you found useful?

tooth paste and breath mints, ipod, face wash, fluffy pillows and your own blanket cause that hospital bed was the worst ever, 3 days of that and I just didn't even want to lay down.

The pain meds cause cotton mouth, therefore, no saliva to moisten your lips and they get VERY dry at times.

Before the surgery, I actually made chicken and beef broth and froze it. I knew when I got home I wasn't going to be cooking, so thawing it and heating it up a little bit at a time was a huge help.
