Hello, I am new to this site. ????

Having sleeve surgery on July 16th. Does anyone recommend taking anything that's not on the "list"? ????

I dunno, I personally didn't need most of that stuff on the list. My phone, a pair of slippers and some sweats so my butt didn't hang out of my gown while I was walking the halls seemed to be all I needed.

I did not use a lot of stuff I took either. I did use my chapstick many times, my slipper, my robe, my comb, and my teddy bear.

I didn't bring anything but my car keys and comfortable clothes. I really didn't need anything else. I figured it was only going to be a 24 hour stay and I could manage if I had forgot something.

The only thing I wish I had brought was my favorite pillow. The hospital pillows are the kind that puff back up, I like mine because it's filled with feathers and I can shape it to my liking. And it would have been handy to have it on the ride home to hold against my stomach.
