I didn't bring a heating pad, but used the hospital's. It was much larger and used warm Water, like a radiator. Had a looooooong cord, so I could move to the chair to sit, etc.

I've been looking for something like this. What are you wearing home? I thought about a very modest flannel gown, but I really wanted to wear clothes. I didn't have anything really loose across my belly, so I bought a stretchy soft maxi dress to wear home. Found one for just $9. :)

I wore the same clothes home that I wore to the hospital, but couldn't get dressed until they took my IV out. Seems to take forever till someone came!

Great Lists!

Bring a throw blanket. I had my surgery in June and was still cold. A blanket, pillow, robe, and long loose PJ dress were most helpful during hospital stay. Oh and my wonderful husband who helped me up and down to bathroom and back to bed. Hope this helps

I was freezing in the hospital but they didn't have any problem bringing me extra blankets. They even sent one home with me so I could use it in the car.
