Hey yall! My surgery is tomorrow and I don't know what to pack. Suggestions please!

Good luck tomorrow. You're going to do great. The most important thing I brought to the hospital was my own pillow. Also, bring a pair of comfortable slippers or shoes as you'll be walking around soon after surgery.

Deodorant , tooth brush and paste, mouth wash,pillow, comfy clothes to go home in, a small pillow to put in between your stomach and the seatbelt on the ride home , cell phone charger

Here's a great thread and downloadable checklist: http://www.verticals...surgery-thread/

Good luck to you! Hope you have a speedy recovery!

I haven't had my surgery yet, but since I've scoured this forum this is what I plan on bringing:

Chapstick

Gas-X strips

Listerine Strips

Your own bed pillow

Toothbrush

Toothpaste

Olay face cleaning cloth

Ear plugs

Deodorant

Small firm tummy pillow

Oversized clothing (going to wear home what I walked in with)

From what I have read, you really don't need much more. Perhaps an iPad or music and your phone. Depending on how long you are in for ????

I'm scheduled for 8/30. Keep us updated on your progress!!

Thank you guys! Your suggestions were a huge help!

Don't forget your cell phone charger. I didn't even look at my phone till day 2 (day 1 I was so doped up, I couldn't even read the keyboard or the words!) but I used it alot on day 2. and I wish I had brought my own pillow. We're 3 hrs away so my hubby couldn't run home and get it for me. I brought my own toothbursh, but they'll give u one if u need one. The only thing they actually ended up giving me outa the welcome packet is the hairbrush. I forgot mine. And it's actually nicer than mine!

Good luck!

Make sure you have chap- stick.
