Any suggestions on what worked and what wasn't worth it to drag there?

chapstick

chapstick and a charger for your phone. Make sure you wear loose, comfortable clothes to the hospital so you can wear them home. Everything else the hospital can provide.

Thank you!

I packed all kinds of stuff and really all I needed was chapstick and clothes to wear home. It was easier to stay in the hospital gown as I had to pee every hour! I didn't even look at my phone hardly because the anti-nausea patch made my eye site blurry.

I agree with the above posters. Chapstick.

Also I was so thankful to have my tennis shoes with me. As I was walking around the halls, I was taking the iv stand with me and kept kicking it. Hurt my toes. So I put on my shoes and problem solved.

Or just have someone with you to keep the iv stand out of your way. Haha.

Chapstick, a robe, my toothbrush...mouth was super gross...and very comfy clothes to go home! Good luck!

I brought an extension cord so my phone and kindle charger could be plugged in at the same time and reach the wall outlet

I brought lots of things. The only things I used were:

Extension cord

Phone charger

Heating pad

Phone

Toothbrush & toothpaste

Biotine mouthwash

Hairbrush (I have extremely long hair)

Clean underwear

And Chapstick

that is it. I wore the same clothes home that I came to the hospital in. I stayed in the hospital gown and the hospital slipper socks. Pack light because you honestly won't need much.

Most important things.

Laptop so you can talk to everyone here and let us know how your doing.

Cell Phone (duh)

Comfortable clothes

Flip Flops or house shoes

Toiletries

Any medications you might take

After surgery, be sure to log on and update everyone. I did.

Was anyone allowed to have sugar free cough drops in the Hospital??

They gave me Chapstick. I suggest a hairbrush and toothbrush. The codeine they gave me was on liquid form so that helped so much with the sore throat.
