Hi all I am packing my bag for surgery tomorrow and wanted to ask if there is anything I must have that really helped you on your hospital stay.i have gas x strips,robe,ear plugs,and slippers.any other suggestions?thank you.

I've been making my list too. Things I have that you're missing are toothbrush/toothpaste, deodorant, hairbrush, phone/charger, and sleep mask (light bothers me when I'm trying to fall asleep)

Good luck to you!

Awsome sleep mask is a great idea thank you!when is your date?

Chapstick & biotin mines on Thursday

You're welcome! It's funny, but I buy them for presents for people all the time. It makes such a difference in sleep quality. My surgery is next Wednesday the 22nd. Hard to believe it's nearly here!

Your own pillows and a blanket! I'm super picky about my pillows and room mine own, as for the blanket, I took my have super blanket, hospitals are cold in my opinion, and I was thrilled to have the extra warmth and softness of my own blanket!

Thank you guys I just packed chapstick and the pillow and blanket are a great idea those are going with me.

I check in tomorrow too. Yeah us!

Sleeping in the hospital is difficult. The staff woke me hourly to give me meds, take vitals, and check on me. The hospital staff was all wonderful and professional, but I didn't get much sleep.

I had my surgery on 1/30/2017, and I was so worried about what I needed to pack. The funny thing is, the only thing I used from what I brought was my own pillow and my ChapStick. My overnight bag stayed in the closet. It's weird but I found the hospital gown super comfy because it was loose. I had them bring a fan because I was super hot, which is weird because I am always cold. The only things I wanted was my super cushiony socks for walking and my ChapStick. Congratulations on your surgery and much success

My bag stayed in my car. I didn't need much while in the hospital. I wish I had some ear buds to listen to my book or music from my phone.

BRING A BACK SCRATCHER!!! You can't bend or twist if you have an itch very easily. Best thing I brought was an extendable back scratcher. Good luck!

Take an IPad, phone, charger. I wore my own clothes as soon as I could get up. Much more comfortable than hospital gowns It is also easier to walk the hallways without being worried that you are exposing your butt.
