Surgery day--what to take with me?

My surgery date is coming up 6/26/13

Im curious as to what I should take with me...

What should I pack in my overnight bag?

I know I need Gas X strips and my cellphone/charger...

What about toiletries?

What should I wear? A comfy summer dress? or just yoga pant and t shirt?

I would love some feedback!

Thanks

I was thinking the same thing :) my surgery is July 11

I wore tshirt and stretchy pants. I put underwear and pants on when I came out of surgery to feel better. I took Chapstick because I hate having dry lips. Took my favorite blanket because the "towels" they call blankets in our area hospitals are ridiculous. Took my bed pillow too. Took toothpaste/toothbrush so I could brush teeth (rinse mouth) since so many complained of dry mouth.

The best thing I took??? Lol.... Ear plugs to not wake up when someone walked in my room! :) I got lots of sleep thanks to those little suckers. I took baby wipes and deodorant too. I couldn't take a bath... But when it's your TOM, it's nice to clean up!! :)

Along with phone/charger... Everything fit nicely in my little bag.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

I wore a big comfy tee shirt and pj bottoms. I wore the same thing home. You won't need much as you probably wont feel like doing make up and hair.
