You'll be in a hospital gown the entire time you're there. I personally wore home what I wore there, so only one outfit (make sure it's comfy). Bring something to entertain you (books, tablet, etc). Cell phone, Chapstick I hear is a big one (I never used it). Toothbrush, toothpaste, shower bar (although all these things are available at the hospital). Hair ties, hair brush.

One good suggestion someone gave me was bringing a small extension cord for electronics. I found a nice one for $10 at target and it was a huge help. I was worried my hospital wouldn't let me use it but they were fine with it so I had plugs for my phone, tablet and an extra plug for my husband to charge his phone.

The extension cord is a good idea. All I brought to the hospital were slippers, clothes to wear home, and my kindle. Some people like to change into their own PJs after surgery, but I just stayed in my gown all night. I barely used my kindle at all, just watched TV and slept. :) Good luck!

A pillow. I bought a new one just to bring with me to the hospital. Generally hospital pillows are pretty flat so having a nice fluffy pillow was nice
