Chapstick, when you wake up in recovery, your lips will be so dry.

A pillow for drive home, so seat belt won't rub on incision, loose fitting clothes.

For home, broth, sugar free popsicles, SF Jello.

Good Luck !

Comfy clothes. Book, or magazine to help kill time before surgery.

And most importantly......a great attitude!

YES!!!!

Chloraseptic, that throat numbing spray... The breathing tube scratched the heck out of my throat and that hurt most of all!!!

Also Gas-X tongue strips. The gas pains were bad and I lived on the strips postop.

A shirt that buttons in the front, not one you pull over your head. I learned that the hard way. Best of luck to you!

I wore my comfiest sweatpants both there and back and the idea is COMFORT.....so I also brought a travel pillow (I slept over night and hate sleeping on my back sitting up) a comfy robe, some trashy magazines, my tablet, and my phone WITH the charger LOL......good luck!! You got this!!
