I took my cpap machine, gas x strips(wouldnt let me use them but gave me some of theirs), toothbrush, phone & charger. They gave me the hospital socks, bottle of isopure(didnt drink till i got hm), glasses/contacts & cases. Wear glasses to hospital or take contacts out before prep. U will be out of it the first day. Walk walk walk sip sip sip.

If u have a cpap get ready to use it. I would doze off and they woild come and wake me up to put my mask on.

the lunch thing just made me crack up. my friend works right by the hospital i will be at. she said that she will bring me lunch after my surgery and eat with me. i looked at her like...youre kidding right? and she oh...yeah...no lunch :)

I would suggest to pack light. My most needed things were my robe. It made me feel so much more comfortable walking around the halls. Also chap stick. My mouth and lips were so so dry! Other than that the hospital had everything. Good luck with your surgery. I am almost a week out now. =)
