Well, you don't need much, I had underwear, chapstick, extra set of lounging clothes, tooth brush, lotion, makeup. I had brought a book but there was no way I was reading. I was so under the influence the first 48 hours from the Fentanyl PCA and patch along with nausea that all i did is sleep and when I became a real person on Saturday I worked on getting liquids in, walking and sitting up in chair.

the hospital will provide slippers, toothbrush, lotion, gown but I wanted my own. Pack light you won't need much and Good Lucki

What nienie said but no make-up phone charger was a must. I ended up with a 4 day stay so extra drawers just in case. I also brought my own pillow....so much more cozy than the hospital pillows!!!! Plus I could hug it on the way home.

Just wondering...every time I've visited someone at the hospital they've complained they were cold, and the hospital blankets are so thin. Would it be a good idea to bring a blanket?

This may sound like a dumb question, but do you wear a bra at the hospital?? Or should I bring a sports bra?

I didn't wear a bra either and I didn't wear one on the ride home or the first week and a half due to stitches and crap... You won't need one.
