Ok so my surgery is Wed & I'm coming home Sat...I packed clothes for every day that I'll be out there but my bag isn't light at all...wondering did I over pack??

Are you having a surgery in a hospital and staying there for recovery? If so, it's probably too much. I stayed in my hospital gown the whole time I was in hospital (I used my personal dressing gown to cover the back). Maybe you could ring them and check. I also took books which I didn't read as I was so tired from surgery I was either walking the halls with my drip or in bed with my eyes closed.

I think you overpacked! I stayed in the hospital gown and wore a second one on backwards when I walked the halls to keep from flashing everyone. I didn't use a speck of makeup, read anything, text anybody or do much else. I assume you are going to Mexico for your surgery though and I went only a few miles away from my home and was in the hospital just one night. You probably will want something to read coming and going. Be sure you take something very loose and comfy for your trip home as your abdomen will be swollen and it is uncomfortable to wear something across it. Remember you are going to have to pull/carry the suitcase after surgery unless you have someone going with you. Good luck with your surgery! Post when you can and let us know how it went.

Ok thanks to both of you for the reply. Yes I'm going to Mexico & I'm going alone..I'm going to stay one night in the hospital and 2 nights at a hotel. I didn't wanna stay at the Recovery House. I'm going to take some of this clothes out. Thanks a bunch & I'll keep you posted on my journey!!
