I'm getting surgery in a few weeks so am grateful to find these lists! Am curious why people want to bring the Biotene mouth moisturizer?

@@talkingmountain It's for the first day or two in the hospital (Biotene) but in all honesty, I didn't use mine after all.

My mouth was super dry in the hospital and maybe for the first day or two at home and that moisturizing mouthwash came in so handy. Haven't needed it since, but it was a lifesaver in the beginning

Yes and baby wipes for the hospital!! They come in handy for a fresh feeling after having volcanic eruptions and expelling of gas from your rear end. Never trust a fart to be just a fart.
