Surgery is tomorrow, advice on what to pack?

[monaleesa 1]

So I'm about pack my bag for the hospital, any suggestions or advice on things to pack?

Pack lightly. One electronic device and charger cord, a comfy pillow, robe, are what first come to mind for me. Besides sleeping, the walking and sipping will occupy a lot of your time.

Best of luck and congrats!

The only thing I brought was my phone, slippers, and a comfy pair of sweat pants so my butt didn't hang out of my gown as I was walking the halls. The hospital provided everything else.

Good luck!

Hey I'm very new here! lol BUT I've researched a lot! I've noticed a lot of people recommend taking loose comfy clothes after surgery. As well as gas x to help with gas and something for yours lips specifically like chapstick/vaseline/lip balm. Etc Also a few have recommended taking some lotions for your hands. A few other things I'd recommend is anything that will help keep you extra comfortable. Baby wipes maybe, if you're sweating an feel uncomfortable. A pillow or a warm blanket. Maybe some slippers which I also notice people recommend. Thats all I can really think of but I hope this helps an wish you lots of luck! I'm sure you will do great

People have already said this but a pillow for the ride home, comfy clothes/pjs - I didn't wear any of the gowns they had after surgery (I changed right away), your phone and a brush. They provided everything else but I guess I did bring my own Shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste as well. My surgery was at 7am and I slept the rest of the day after surgery and most of the night. The 2nd day I did my walks, took my sips, took a shower and went home. I had no desire in TV, Electronic games, music, etc... I just wanted to sleep and get out of there.

I'm a bit of a over packer but I took soft comfy PJs, a robe, slippers, Chapstick, gas x strips, biotene mouth spray and lozenge, my iPad, extension cord for all my electronics so I wouldn't have to get up the first day, soft pillow, fem wipes, my own body wash and Shampoo & a glade plug in for my room because I don't like the smell of hospitals so I got a apple cinnamon one. Only problem with that is all the nurses and staff wanted to hang out in my room, they would literally come sit on my bed and tell me how much they loved my delicious smelling room lol! @@monaleesa
