Surgery Tomorrow 3\11 what to bring to the hospital

[Nyx2891 15]

Hey guys --

My surgery is tomorrow and i wanted to know what i should bring to the hospital. They never went over this with me lol.

I'm going to have both the drainage tube and the pain pump so I'm figuring i will just be in a hospital gown. Or should i bring some sleep dresses (or MooMoos as my husband lovingly calls them)

The internet it available so my iPad will be packed......

Suggestions?

Thanks

I took a robe and walking slippers since I heard we need to walk. They usually provide Shampoo type stuff, but if you prefer your own that would be an option. I was only in overnight so some of the things I thought I would take for passing time was useless--no real time to entertain myself, either walking, drinking or sleeping. And don't forget iPad charger to keep in touch!!

they do provide you with tooth brush and paste, and soap and Shampoo for showering, but you could take your own if you like. I took some pajamas to change into after the first day. Was so much more comfortable! Also, i'd take your own pillows with. Good Luck!

I would skip your own nightgowns and go with what the hospital supplies. My hospital also had slippers for walking. You might want a bathrobe if you think that would be more comfortable than using another gown to cover up.

Chapstick is a must ! You won't get anything to drink the first day, and you really won't feel like drinking a lot (even though they will be pushing you to) during your hospital stay.

I brought a small tube of lotion and it really made me feel better - the air in the hospital was very dry.

ipad is a good idea.

Good luck !

Use the hospital gowns until u go home. You will have blood etc that can get on your stuff. Also use hospital socks at all times so you will not fall. I am a nurse so I know what I am talking about. Keep cute stuff for going home but bring a robe if u want. Long sleeves can get caught in IV lines

Gas X strips and Chapstick. I also liked sugar free hard candy

I took a really soft throw size blanket and my own pillow (in an old pillow case) - so very, very glad I did. My room was chilly and the hospital pillow was flat. I also took my ipod.

Robe, slippers, Chapstick, gas x strips, charger and saline nasal spray! Good luck!

Thanks for the advice --- I am packing my bag now and will include some of these items defiantly the chap stick and bathrobe

I live literally 30 seconds from the hospital so i may have my parents bring over some pillows if i need them.
