I had a bag full of crap but the only things I really used and appreciated: Chapstick, my own pillow, my own blanket, a 6' charging cable for my phone, and slippers to walk around the hospital. Good luck to you!

I took reading materials but never felt like reading. I took several different changes of lounge about clothes - only wore a hospital gown and then one set of clothes. Brought toiletries, didn't really use other than the toothbrush. I had some incontinence supplies I needed i guess....but that's about it.

Slippers. Yes. My own pillow. Yes. Long cable for phone. Yes. I felt so bad that nothing else was useful or mattered.

I was really happy to have a pair of pj shorts for under the gown. Helped when walking in the halls! ????

I agree with some sort of bottoms. I sadly did not bring any and had a hard time keeping myself covered, even though they gave me a gown to put on backwards like a robe. I had a smaller BMI to begin with and the gowns were clearly a "one size" for the bariatric patient. I was drowning so I felt always exposed. Other than that, my hospital supplied everything I needed. I did, however, bring my charger with an extension cord for my phone. Good luck!

Looking back.... The most useful thing would have been a long stick of some sort to poke people who came to wake you up at 3 am.
