First, here is my attire: super loose fitting jammie bottoms, oversized t-shirt, flip flops

Here's whats in my bag for same day surgery!

-Driver's license, insurance card

-Phone list (for the "Yes, she's alive" phone calls after surgery)

-Biotene mouth spray (designed to help dry mouth and also freshen breath) - in the toothpaste aisle at Walmart

-Chloroseptic throat spray (intubation discomfort)

-My favorite blankie (call me Linus, but I want it next to my face when I recover)

-CPAP machine (I'm told to bring it in case it is needed, but rarely is)

Did I forgot anything for surgery day? Add below!

I'm just bringing myself, my wallet and my husband.

I figure I'll just wear the same clothes I come in.

Yep, I'm just wearing home what I go in. I figure once I get there, I'll have to strip down anyway.

I see your surgery is the 29th - best wishes to you!!

Have two checklists (I LOVE checklists):

1) drivers license, insurance card, pillow!

2) toothbrush, toothpaste,deodorant, incentive spirometer, fuzzy socks, robe

I am hoping not to need checklist 2 because I want to sleep at home!

Just remembered LAVENDER!! I love the essential oil in my bathtub, and that might be nice to have around. I'll just put a drop onto a cotton ball and pop it into a Ziplock bag. Won't be able to wear perfume or scented lotion...but that might help with any anxiety that the "hospital smell" might cause.

I pre-registered so I didn't need anything but the clothes on my back. They sent me home with quite the goodie bag and my smiley face pillow. :-)

i just got out my pen and paper and wrote all the sugestions down. I most likely will be kept over night according to my surgen. So my list keeps growing

I would add cell phone to the list. Maybe something to read.

You may not want to wear flip flops, look for slip on shoes instead. You can fall very easily in flip flops and you don't want to right after surgery.
