What should I pack for the hospital? My doctor said I will be in the hospital for 4-5 days. Is that right? Is just preparing me for worst case scenario?

That seems a little longer than most but I suppose there could be mitigating factors. See link below which is a very long post of details about what you need for the hospital.

I think most people sum it up by saying they didn't use half of what they packed. Good luck!

Chap stick, Pajama pants, headphones and a night mask were my 4 top items used in the hospital. I brought much more but didn't use most of the other stuff.

Loose clothing around your midsection, and that is easy to get on/off, also, for females. try to avoid an under wire bra. I wound up going home with no bra on because I didn't realize the bra would rest on my incisions. And everything else the others have said :-)
