alycopp78 33 Posted September 8, 2015 Your pillow for sure. If you have a body pillow take that too it is good for supporting your belly. That was all I used. I honestly didn't brush my teeth for three days, gross I know, but I was so nauseous there was no way I was sticking a toothbrush in my mouth. Good luck to you!!

sshawk69 17 Posted September 8, 2015 Comfy clothes when your walking the halls. Shower stuff and towel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jane13 2,256 Posted September 8, 2015 Twinmomma422 - pillow, toothbrush and toothpaste, deodorant and maybe chapstick. I wore my own panties and they provided everything else. I was only there one night and was told to wear comfy clothes in that I could wear home. hydrate as late as possible! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VanessaVSGforme 276 Posted September 9, 2015 Hey there. Just had my surgery 9/2 and the main things I actually used were pajamas, lots of undies, TAMPONS or PADS. Pads are much easier. My period hit the day after surgery and I had just had it 2 weeks prior. It was heavy too! Gas X quick dissolve strips, slippers with non slip tread and deodarant. Nothing else I took, I needed. Good luck and let us know how it goes!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alycopp78 33 Posted September 9, 2015 How long will you be in the hospital? I was only over night, but anymore than that I agree with Vanessa. Bring Tampons/pads. I got my period 2 days after as well, not expected, very heavy and has lasted for two weeks now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rnsamantha 352 Posted September 9, 2015 Good luck with your surgery! Definitely a firm pillow, comfy clothes, and pads. I wasn't expecting the gift of my period either the day after surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twinmomma422 54 Posted September 9, 2015 Thank you. I had mine a couple weeks ago and not expecting it for another couple weeks but as I'm seeing here it comes when it wants lol so I will def pack some pads and tampons. Thank you all again!! I go in at noon central time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazziminna 95 Posted September 9, 2015 Thank you ladies!!! I thought my body was working against me. My period started about 10 days early too. 3 days after surgery. I was pissed. I didn't expect to have to deal with that yet. Uugh. I have my followup tomorrow and I think I'll mention it as something to warn others about. What a relief to know I'm not alone! Crazy stuff.
