Any tips?

Hey beautiful people! I was wondering if any post op people had advice for pre-op. Is there anything special I should look out for. What did you guys bring to the hospital? Fellow pre-op advice is welcome too! Look forward to hearing from you all!

I was really happy to have a thick sweater vest with wide sleeve holes and loose cotton pants. it may have looked funny but it was comfy. and I loved my sleep mask and ear plugs cause I had a roomie. didnt read anything. didnt wear bras. I was glad to have my extra fleece blanket and sockies cause I was cold all the time. lip balm. such things...

oh, and a small firm pillow that helped more than the stuffed teddy they gave me for helping me move

I wore a loose dress and flip flops to and from the hospital, spent the rest of the time in the gowns they provided. Didn't wear bras, they were too much of a hassle. Bring a phone charger! Chapstick. After you have the surgury, start walking as soon as you can handle it, it helps get rid of excess gas and works the anesthesia out of your system! Sip water often as soon as you get the OK.
