What to take to hospital



Recommended Posts

I have not personally had my surgery yet but work as a nurse and have had several patients that over pack really you only need the clothes you wear which I won't have on long so u can wear them home. Ur phone and charger. Gas x strips (highly recommended). Personal hygiene products. Slippers. U will spend most of ur time sleeping.

Honestly, I didn't need anything but my phone and charger. The hospital provided everything, down to the lip balm. Besides, I was pretty wasted on pain meds and didn't do anything but sleep.

Good to know, I'm just taking a large purse for hygiene products and figure they will give me slipper socks in the hospital. And I'm packing a change of undies to go home in.

Also take a robe for when you have to walk around

I thought of that but I hazard a guess they will have bariatric johnnies so my hint will be covered

I took my robe, slippers, iPad, phone, charger, medicines (they didn't have one of mine), contact case, toothbrush, toothpaste, underwear, and change of clothes. I was pretty well set.

If you have any meds that are exspensive take them with you. I only took my phone charger and phone. They charge you for everything wether you take it or not. Except the exspensive meds.

I took pjs to change into before I started walking and my own slippers...I hate hospital gowns and those socks. Hygiene items, phone/tablet/chargers. A book if you don't read on a tablet.

I'm glad you mentioned meds I'll be sure to pack my own.

The only thing I'm taking that hasn't been mentioned- a long handled backscratcher, in case I itch and also to reach things I can't. But will take all advice to heart for the future Rosey deflating and re alignment Day!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
