Hi everyone. I just joined MFP. I have my psyc eval this week. After that I will be waiting to see if insurance approves me. So far everything has gone pretty good. May sound crazy but I already have my bag packed. Lol so ready for this. I have read a lot of post on what to bring to hospital. A LOT of them say do not over pack. Here is what I am taking. Cell phone and charger, chapstick, hair tie, 2 pair of undies, 1 comfy shirt, 1 pair soft joggers, hairbrush, toothbrush and little toothpaste, deodorant. I was going to bring house shoes but they said the nurse will give you some non slick socks. I am also going to bring some chewable gasx. Just in case. I heard gas pain is awful. I will ask nurse of course before I take it.oh ya.. a pillow!! I heard this is a must have. :)

The only thing I brought was my cell phone + charger and chap stick. The hospital provides everything else for you, I made sure the clothes I wore into the hospital were soft, elastic waist, lose and comfy. When you leave you are not going to want anything constricting. I also wore slip on sneakers because it hurts to bend over and tie your shoes/sneakers. The surgeon may want you to keep the lovely hospital gown on because it is easier to access you with the gown on. The hopsital also givesyou the no slip socks that you can walk the halls with. They will also provide you with antigas meds if your surgeon OK's it, I felt it was just easier to walk it off. Good luck :)
