Tomorrow is the day!! My surgery is scheduled for 930am. My house is spotless, groceries are bought, laundry is done, my support is coming in town today.... everything is taken care of. Im ready! Im making a list of what to pack for my stay in hospital. Im sure i wont need much. Any good suggestions of things you wished you had with you?

I only took my cell phone, a pillow for the ride home and biotene mouth spray. I only used my pillow and my cell. I played games while waiting for surgery and never touched it again.

I wore home what I wore to the hospital.

Good luck!!

I took too much....pretty much just something loose and comfy to wear home, easy slip on shoes, phone/tablet and chargers, maybe a book or crossword (but you might end up just napping a lot lol) ...get some GasX Strips (they help SOOOO much!), hairbrush, your own toothbrush if you want (most hospital provide this though, even deodorant too sometimes)...they will probably give you socks too, the non slippy kind...that's pretty much it, you really won't be there long at all and really not need anything...well, I didn't anyway :) They even had me bring my CPAP, but I didn't need it at all and still haven't used it since surgery :)

Good Luck and we'll see you on the other side!!
