I would like to know what thing to take to the hospital. Such as baby wipes, chap stick, etc.

Chapstick #1!

Some form of entertainment.(book/tablet/computer)

Slip on shoes, or socks to walk around in. (although some hospitals provide these)

Pillow (hospital beds are the devil)

Phone/charger

Loose clothing to go home in.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. Lol

I took baby wipes to freshen up. You sweat a lot from the pain meds. At least I did, woke up with a soaking wet bed. Ewww.

Chapstick definately.

I took my own toiletries for when I showered.

I took my kindle, but never used it. Just wanted to rest between walks.

I had a list of stuff I was gonna take; pjs, book, robe, etc. I'm glad I didn't waste anytime with all that. Didn't need any of it.

Robe

Chapstick

Phone charger

Crystal light

Loose clothes to wear home

Definitely bring shampoo and conditioner

Pillow from home/throw blanket (that I sleep with every night)

This is all I used. I wouldn't worry about a bunch of extras.

Sugar free gum if your surgeon allows it. My mouth was sooooo dry!

Good question, great answers! I would've never thought to bring a chapstik.

Because they don't let you drink after surgery you mouth and lips are so dry they are cracking. It was the worst feeling.

Chapstick

Cell phone and charger

I wore a loose dress there and wore it back home.

Personal hygiene products

Tablet w/ charger (some people don't use them in the hospital but I'm a techie so I HAD to have mine)

If you're journaling your journey make sure you bring your journal to write down you feelings as they happen

Listerine breath strips... I was in ketosis by surgery day so my breath needed lots of help

A pillow. Not only for sleeping on but also as a shield against the seatbelt on the ride home
