What to pack for hospital stay?



Recommended Posts

Not sure what to pack...I'm thinking about wearing my pajamas to the hospital and back home because they are loose fitting and I won't have to pack too much. My binder says bring a robe and slippers, toiletries, ect.

I would highly recommend wipies and chap stick. Those two were life savers for me! That, and a toothbrush... your mouth is going to be very dry and taste very odd. :)

I was in one night. All I really used were my brush and toothbrush, phone charger, slippers and pj shorts. I was happy to have the shorts to cover my booty - but would have been sweating in pj pants. Plus they put those leg wraps on you for circulation, so pants would have been in the way. Wore home what I came in.

Chapstick is a must have. Second to that your own pillow.

I chose to wear a loose fitting capri outfit instead of pjs during the day and then changed into pj short set at night. The capris allowed me to stay cool and covered without needing a bathrobe. I too was only one night. I also agree about the toothbrush. I brushed my teeth and changed my clothes as soon as I got to my room. The taste you will have in your mouth is terrible.

Good luck

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
