Hey friends can you tell me what should I pack for my hospital stay and what are the things that I most definitely need to get home? My surgery is Wednesday so any help you can give would be great

Bare basics!!! Toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, lotion, chapstick, phone, charger, and extension cord. Comfortable, loose fitting clothes or a loose dress. The bra is a toss-up. I couldn't wear mine home, so, the a cami it was. The TWINS were swinging free, lol!!!

A beverage, water, etc., for the ride home would be good. My mouth was so dry, I couldn't take it. Had to stop on the way home and get something.

Thanks for all this info & yes will remember the cord...

Yea, I took a sports bra to wear home. The only nausea I had was when I was first waking up from surgery and my awesome nurse had phenegran going into my IV immediately. It was not bad nausea, just a tinge. All my nurses were wonderful!

My personal life saver was pull-up wet wipes. They wouldn't let me take a shower so I lived to clean myself with those wipes after a day of not showering. UGH. Oh and I agree the chapstick will be a lifesaver especially the first day before your swallow test when you can have nothing. other than that a few bucks to turn on your tv but the hospital provides mostly everything you will need.

Gas x strips!!! Sugar free throat lozenges
