So my surgery is Monday at 10:00 a.m. I have read the posts here and listened to my doctor, PA and the nurses at the hospital and have compiled what I'm bringing. Do I have everything I need?

Note: I will have a private room, so no need for earplugs. I will use two gowns, so I am not bringing a robe. I don't want to bring any extra electronics, so I'll rely on my phone if I need internet, etc.

My current list:

1. Evil CPAP machine per doctor's orders

2. Gas X strips and liquid drops

3. Biotene for dry mouth

4. Medicine (that I already have) for possible Thrush

5. Toothbrush/paste

6. Vaseline/lip stuff

7. Cell phone and charger

8. Extra underwear (saw this on the suggestions list)

9. Small bottle of Purell

10 .Wet wipes (travel pack)

11. Squishy pillow for my tummy

12. Panty liners (just in case)

13. Mascara etc so I don't look completely grotesque when leaving the hospital. Don't want to scare the children.

14. A pair of contacts for when I leave the hospital (no contacts during surgery of course)

15. My friend -- very important! She will hang onto my stuff and text my mom, etc.

16. Cash for my friend to go fill my prescriptions while I'm in recovery

Hmmm - anything else? I'll wear the same outfit going in and leaving - very loose and non-constricting on the tummy. No bra (sorry, world), so double tank tops to hold the girls a bit. What else should I bring??? I have one more day to stock up and pack my duffel bag! Thanks for any advice!

A heating pad saved me from gas pain. I highly recommend one.

I just went and bought one - my mom was bringing one for after surgery but I decided to grab one for the hospital as well. Thanks!

My surgery is also tomorrow! Good luck!

Ok new here... What is the pillow for?

Just so you know, if you have to wear oxygen at all you can't use your vaseline or any petroleum based product.
