Hit that search function... there are HUNDREDS of these posts telling folks to helped them and what didn't.

I only used:
Dry mouth spray (life saver really! for when you can't drink anything after surgery and your mouth is super dry)
Lip balm
Pillow
Cellphone / charger / long ass cable
Sweatpants
Slipers

That's it.
I wore the clothes I wore in, out.
Didn't need ANYTHING else.

Only thing I used while in the hospital was my chapstick (they provide some but I like the brand I buy) and my charger. What i wore to the hospital which was a slip on dress is what i wore home. I recommend bringing your own heating pad. It took my nurse forever to get one ordered. Good luck with everything
Toothbrush and phone charger, don’t bother with anything else

iPhone and charger with long cable

Slippers for walking the halls

Toothbrush

Ear plugs and eye mask
