What am I missing?

Everything happens for a reason...

Hello, I think you are set. I had my surgery last week. I really didn't need all the stuff I packed. I really just used my slippers, and my robe during my stay. The hospital provided hygiene stuff, so I didn't even use my stuff. My outfit that I wore the day of surgery was what I wore again when I was discharged(of course changed undergarments). Hope this helps[emoji5]

A pillow for the drive home to put over your tummy, underneath the seat belt.

Best wishes for the surgery and speedy recovery!

Underwear is missing from your list... rather essential. I took a pair for every day plus a spare, which ended up being needed as I stayed an extra night.
I took a book which was handy for the waiting before surgery and in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep.
Ear plugs were handy too.

Yes make sure you take your own pads!!!

You're not going to need much. This is all I used: lip balm, underwear, and my iPhone and charger. They had everything else I needed (grippy slipper socks, toiletries, lemon swabs for dry mouth, etc). Also I'm a germaphobe so I didn't want to bring my own PJs or pillow in there - but absolutely have a pillow in the car for the ride home.

I didn't use anything I brought. No need to overthink it!

I did pack underwear lol, I do have lip balm in there too.
I cannot forgot the pillow! I'm literally down the street from where I will be having surgery, but I was told still to bring one.

Ear plugs and a eye mask too

I need a good book to read now...

I also brought a notebook to write down questions and answers that I had for the Dr and nurses, also a book/coloring book to pass the time when I was awake..., Good Luck with your surgery and keep us posted

The only things I really used were my phone and my sleep apnea machine and underwear. My hospital had toiletries and everything I needed. I only stayed one night. I was in and out of sleep most of my stay when I wasn't walking. You don't need much.

I definitely overpacked,
All I used was my robe, slippers, phone and headphones. Toothpaste and toothbrush.
I was commando lol the 3 days I was there. What I wore there is what I wore home.
