What should I pack for the hospital?

[ResilientMaria 19]

I could never get the "right answer" after watching a bunch of YT videos. One thing I did notice is that they have you hooked up to an IV still when they have you start walking so here is what I packed:

Deodorant

Toothbrush

Toothpaste

Cleansing wipes (in case I can't shower there)

Brush

Medicines I filled

A change of clothes

Undies

Sports bra

No slip socks

Gas x strips

Anything else I should bring?

Lotion, the air tends to be dry in hospitals

Oh, I took earbuds so that I could watch Netflix on my phone without the sex scenes from OITNB or Shameless being heard as the nurses came in and out of my room ????

I took a toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush and deodorant. I also took a robe. When I got up and walked they clamped off the IV and disconnected it. I didn't walk around with the pole. I only stayed 2 nights. They provide soap, washclothes and towels for washing off and non slip socks. Wore home same sweats and shirt I came with. No bra. I found it rubbed my upper incision. Simplistic procedure I've ever had.

The best thing I took was a zip front nightgown (robe)

I leave for surgery on 2/17. I've heard bringing a heat pad & extension cord to ensure you can charge your phone/iPad from the bed are also helpful.

I second the chapstick and biotene Everyone is different. I never touched my iPad or phone and I couldn't change into my pjs because I was hooked up to the IV machine until the morning I was released ????
