What do i pack for the hospital?

I know Chapstick is a must!! What else?? I'm getting sleeved 9/3 and want to make sure I bring all that I need for me and hubby too. What items aren't on the traditional lists that you wish would have been?

I did not use anything I brought. Just yourself. You are so out of it you need nothing including a bathrobe. I used another hospital gown backwards when I walked. Best of luck.

i was honestly so tired that i just slept the 3 days, and when i wasnt sleeping i was going potty or walking lol

when i first woke up i didnt want to be in the gown anymore so i had my mom help me and put on pants and tshirt... just so i was not worried about a boob popping out or etc. it didnt rub or hurt any.

i also put my hair in a braid because you are not going to want to worry about your hair the time you are there... it was so nice cause i got to take a shower and not worry about my hair too.

i took a blanket that smelled like home, just to make me feell a little better those blankets are rough at the hospital

slippers or flipflops

i took little bags of goodies to give my nurses too, they did such a amazing job on me and i wanted to be sure to thank them... gum, candy, pens etc just fun little thanks for all you did for me

Best thing I took was my extension cord so I could reach/charge my iPad and phone while I was in bed. I was only there overnight so I didn't need much, but my robe, slippers, lip balm and lotion made me much more comfortable. A loose bra for the way home will make you happy, too. Non-underwire.

The hospital provided all I needed including slippers, the backwards gown described by Mokee as a substitute for a robe, toothbrush and paste, etc. Ask this question at the surgeon's office. They should have the answer based on what your hospital provides or doesn't provide..

Almost nothing. I didn't use anything but PJ s gas x and slippers. Rarely used cell phone and charger. Pillow for ride home. But I packed a load of stuff. Lol

Good luck
