Real comfy pajamas, slippers non skid sole, toothbrush/paste, pillow for ride home, deodorant, I like baby powder, and lip balm, comfortable clothes to go home in. I was there 2 nights, I really didn't need much more. Good luck

In addition to what sbg224 said, also bring your own bar soap and wash cloth as that was helpful for my wife and we'll be doing the same for me next Monday when I go in. You will be doing a LOT of sitting around before-hand so bring a book or laptop with movies, something to keep you entertained while you wait.

PJ pants for walking the halls. I didn't use slippers, I used the slip-on shoes I went to the hospital in. Lip balm. Facial moisturizer and hand cream - my skin gets super dry in hospitals and hotels. A pen or pencil and something to write on the track your fluids.

One thing I brought home with me - a bunch of the little plastic medicine cups. They were very handy for measuring my Fluid intake.
