Sleeve101 72 Posted December 1, 2014 Yay! Good luck! I packed gossip magazines....I didn't have the energy to mess with my ipad. I packed very loose pj pants and very loose top and bra for when I went home. Pack a blow dryer too, for after your daily showers. My hospital didn't have one and I had to let my hair air dry which I thought would make me sick (catch a cold - prob an old wives tale). Recovery will be long and boring!!! So be prepared! Good luck!!!! Prayers going your way!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elode 8,093 Posted December 1, 2014 Yes get those, I know some people say they don't/can't help but I took them almost immediately after surgery and I never had any gas pains...Could be just luck but whatever.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elode 8,093 Posted December 1, 2014 Oh and my glade plug in!! I loved that, I don't like the smell of a hospital! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathy812 794 Posted December 1, 2014 Good luck! I was in for two days & had no desire to get on my iPad, my cell w/charger was good enough. I wore something comfortable to the hospital ( I only kept it on for about 30 minutes) so I wore the same thing home. Don't overpack. I brought flip flops for the shower. Hospitals are full of germs. See ya on then other side. I am seven weeks postop and I have never had a one minute of regret. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roundisashape 712 Posted December 1, 2014 Definitely lip balm, baby Shampoo (used it as body soap too), baby wipes (I just felt gross even with showering), and I felt a lot more comfortable with a loose comfy pair of shorts to wear under my gowns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JALUVIC 79 Posted December 2, 2014 I'm going to double check with my surgeon again, but seems to me he said that it's typically a one night hospital stay...can't imagine taking much for just one night. Maybe it was two.........hmmm. I'd rather stay two nights to be sure everything is ok! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
