I stayed 1 night in the hospital, i was home at 4 the next day

What do you recommend I pack?



Most people stay two, but I only had one

One night and home next day at 4:00pm. Pack very light...comfortable clothes , pillow for car, robe and slippers, bio teen for dry mouth. They will give you toiletries and gas relief. Good luck!

Depends on your doctor. Ours was a mandatory 3 days / 2 nights. My doc only does surgeries on Wednesdays and the goal is to have you home Friday afternoon.

It doesn't hurt to plan for the unexpected. I had some complications and didn't get home until the following Tuesday. There's always a potential to keep you an extra day for observation.
