Surgery on Monday at 10 gotta be there by 8 any suggestions on what to pack?

chapstick...though my hospital supplied it.

I went in on Thursday and was out on Sunday, though I should have been out Saturday. They kept me an extra day because I bled out twice and had to have 2 pints of blood.

btw my bleed out was very rare not life threatening just annoying, dont want to scare you.

I packed all kinds of stuff I didnt need. Too drugged up to read and such... just mainly concentrated on walking. Had surgery on a tuesday morning and went home Wednesday around 3 pm

Mainly pack something comfy to go home in.

Good luck

I just had the clothes on my back with extra underwear. I did bring a toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, hairbrush and elastic for my hair.

I'm having surgery on Tuesday and they said i'll be out on Wed.

I'm packing clothes to come home in,chapstick, toothbrush, toothpaste, brush, deodarant, phone, charger, and in the car i'm leaving a pillow for the ride home. They recommended a pillow for comfort from the seatbelt.
