Packing list

I know this is probably somewhere but I can't find it. So here it goes again.. Is there a magic list of what to take to the hospital? And also what necessities should I have at home so I don't have to go the store when I get home? Surgery is Wednesday and I want to have everything ready:-)

    I am packing as we speak for my surgery tomorrow, so THANK YOU so much for the list. It was very helpful!!! The only thing I would add is Gas X strips, mouthwash, and maybe a book or magazine.

    Long or extension charger cord for your phone. Mine didn't reach far enough. Comfy pillow.
