MUST HAVES FOR SURGERY DAY

[Nikki Monroe 71]

What are the MUST HAVES to take to the hospital on the day of surgery?

[wvanglahn 9]

Loose fitting clothes (as in sweats or shorts) , and pretty much things you would take on any overnight trip.

A real pillow. Chapstick. Gas X strips. My 6' iPhone cord. Trashy magazines. Of all the stuff I packed, that's what I actually used.

I needed nothing! Lips were fine, Chapstick went unopened. Hospital pillow was fine. Wore home same clothes I arrived in. Too sleepy to read or text or talk so didn't need magazines, books, phone or charger. I was only there 28 hours.

However, a tranquilizing gun to use on my drama queen roommate might have come in handy! Lol.

LOL !@sleevenv. I'll check Walmart to see if they sell those! Thanks everyone for the suggestions with the exception of the trashy magazines! But hey! To each its own right? LOL!

I took way too much. I was there 2 nights. Has x strips and chopstick was all I needed. Was so out of it most of the time I didn't even use my phone that much

Tooth brush and tooth paste all the dry mouth it really helped me

I plan to take gas x, Chapstick, socks, a couple changes of undies (this will be my 6th abdominal surgery and I've found that sneezing/coughing don't always end favorably when my belly is sore), toothbrush/toothpaste/mouthwash, and my kindle.

Loose clothes and chapstick

All I'm planning on taking is a loose-fitting dress (going there and back), toothbrush & toothpaste, Blistex (the blue round one is the one I like), favorite pillow and my phone and charger.

Only thing of my own that I used was my Eos (Chapstick) and a loose gown and slippers I wore home. Didn't even wear undies as I didn't want a band stretching Across my tummy. never used my phone- slept too much or didn't feel like being on it. If they won't let you eat ice chips, you can at least swish one around in your mouth and spit iT out.... Was my saving grace with the HORRIBLE cotton mouth I had. I wasn't allowed any drink for 24 hrs. Until my barium drink to cheCk for leaks. Best wishes!
