Hello All,

I was just wondering what are somethings I should pack for my surgery?

Thanks in advance

A slipper to do your walking in the hospital and comfortable clothes to go home.

I’ve seen a lot of people mention chap stick. Slippers, gas X, sugar free throat spray. Dry mouth spray.

yeah most hospital have soap, towels, toothbrush, toothpaste, and comb in there arsenal. Nurses don't like you taking stuff without them knowing even gas x and they have stuff for dry mouth at the hospital. I worked in a surgical unit and they pretty much gonna have what you need except slippers but they will have a lots of socks...lol

Hair brush, chapstick, cell phone and charger

Take a heating pad!! You will want it right after surgery. I was just sleeved on the 10th and it's one of the only things making me feel better. Heating pad, chapstick, slippers and a bathrobe to cover your butt when you walk around and of course clean clothes that are easy to put on to go home in. Good luck!
