Packing

What do you need to pack to take to the hospital? Like can I put a grown over my head or do I need something that buttons?

I wore the hospital gown and brought a pair of sweatpants. I would suggest you Bring socks and a pillow in additional to pj pants.

Don't forget chapstick.

I agree, bring pants, like lounging pants.

You'll probably feel best in the hospital gown because of the heart monitor and IV.

Chap stick, Chapstick ,Chapstick!

Deodorant and if you prefer your own toothbrush and toothpaste bring it. Otherwise the hospital provides those things for you. It's only 2 days, I used he hospital stuff lol

I'm 6 days post op and I really just needed my pj pants. I was out of it the whole first day and the second day I was a little better. The only things I used were my pit stick and pj pants out of the bag I packed, oh and sports bra lol

In addition to Chapstick, biotene if they let you have it for the dry mouth, a nail file, and slippers. I just wore 2 gowns to walk the halls. The listerine wafers are also great.

Slippers to walk in so you don't walk in socks on that nasty floor, and comfortable pants with a low, stretchy waist.

I agree slippers and also a robe to wear over gown. I was able to pull clothes over my head so went home in a dress. Probably too cold for that now. I would wear something with a loose waist band.
