I think the only things I brought that I used were my phone and charger and a couple of hygiene items.

I wore comfy clothes there and wore the same ones home. I wore the hospital gown with another one going the other way so I could walk the halls. Didn't use a robe. The nurses put those non-slip socks on me.

I did use my own face wash and toothbrush. And my hairbrush. I brought lip balm (my mouth and lips were really dry) but the hospital provided lip moisturizer for me to use and I just used that one.

I brought my heating pad because when I had my gallbladder out years ago I had a lot of gas pain afterwards. I didn't have those pains this time, I had a morphine drip and it was awesome.

Some people bring books and things to do but honestly I didn't feel like concentrating on anything like that. I watched tv. I slept. I peed. I walked the halls. That was it.

I stayed 2 nights and was glad I did. Most people only stay one night. You really don't need much.

I had my bagel packed so my daughter brought it to me after my surgery.

1. PILLOW

2. PJ'S PANTS. LOOSE

3. LIP BALM

4. BRUSH YOUR hair

5.LOTION FOR DRY SKIN

6 A ROBE BECAUSE IT'S CHILLY 8N THE HOSPITAL.

GOOD LUCK

I packed my phone, phone charger and 2 change of clothes. I was a wreck after surgery I didn't touch anything in my bag until the day I left. Just wore the hospital gown for 3 days lol. Pack very light.

I couldn't wear a robe because of the IV in my arm. Other than that, tooth brush, tooth paste, phone charger, underwear, sleep pants, slippers, my CPAP and my cell phone.

I could never bring enough pillows. LOL I used about 10 of the hospitals. I brought my phone w/charger. "soft clothes" to wear home (soft leggings and a sweatshirt) tooth brush and tooth paste. My cpap (they supply the distilled water)

I was in the hospital for one night. I used my phone for amusement and music, my toothbrush and a clean pair of underwear.
