Change for vending machine? Lol thats the old u talking. You wont be able to rat anything out of the machine. Luv the rest of the list.

It was for my son. Lol

Chapstick for sure!!!! I have been in hospital several times over last couple of years and the chapped lips are so bad, you will think your face Is going to crack. Just start early and often with a good Chapstick or blistex. Also flip flops to wear when you are walking( and you will walk....it really helps with the pain) you can likely put on a pair of baggy sweat pants. I put mine on as soon as I got out if surgery.....

I'm on the 5th too. Packing my bag this weekend because I'll be too busy during the week and will feel better knowing it's done. All of the sudden it seems very close!

It was for my son. Lol

Lol ok, just checking. Happy sleeping.

I'm right behind you...mine is March 5th....and, I'm already packed!

Slippers

favorite pillow

Biotin gel to keep mouth moist

lip balm (I love EOS and bought a special lemon flavored one just for surgery)

Moisturizer (if you have dry skin)

Nasal saline spray (if you suffer dry/stuffy nose)

really stretchy jammies

baby wipes (to help feel fresh and clean. ((I use them on my face, armpits, Under boobs, etc...they clean great, are gentle, remove makeup better than any expensive makeup wipe, and are totally hypoallergenic!))

gas x strips

entertainment (phone, tablet, chargers, earbuds, book)

C-pap machine and accouterments

I always over prepare and bring too much wherever I go!

I have to bring my cpap machine to the hospital?

Yes you need to bring it. The dr want you to use it even if you are just napping.
