There is a lot of variety in what people pack. I invite you to check out this conversation:

My surgery is in two weeks also and that was a very helpful list. Thanks!

I took: my phone and charger, lip balm, very basic toiletries (toothbrush, tooth paste, deodorant, comb), extra pair of undies, non-skid fuzzy socks, and my Kindle.

As it turns out, I didn't really need the Kindle -- I only used it while waiting on surgery to start. My surgeon was running late that morning so I had an extra 90 minutes on my hands. I also didn't need the non-skid socks because the hospital provided them.

I made sure that the clothes I wore to the hospital were going to be comfy to wear on the way home. For me that was a loose, empire waist dress and a soft cotton bra that fastens in front.

There was nothing I needed or wanted in the hospital that made me think, drat, I wish I had packed that! My advice is to pack as light as possible.

Ditto what Bufflehead said. Definitely bring the LIP BALM! Bring TWO in case you lose one! I couldn't believe the list I had read on this site somewhere.....it was more like a 2 week stay with all that was posted! LOL!

The hospital provided me with non skid socks & I too just wore home what I wore to the hospital. I always have a small travel pillow in the car & I used that in between my tummy & the seat belt on the drive home. There really isn't much you need. Hopefully you won't be there long enough! I was there just over night & got to go home the next afternoon.

Good luck & let us know how it goes for you!

Most important thing for me was my own pillow!

thanks everyone!
