I have not personally had my surgery yet but work as a nurse and have had several patients that over pack really you only need the clothes you wear which I won't have on long so u can wear them home. Ur phone and charger. Gas x strips (highly recommended). Personal hygiene products. Slippers. U will spend most of ur time sleeping.

Also take a robe for when you have to walk around

Honestly, I didn't need anything but my phone and charger. The hospital provided everything, down to the lip balm. Besides, I was pretty wasted on pain meds and didn't do anything but sleep.

Good to know, I'm just taking a large purse for hygiene products and figure they will give me slipper socks in the hospital. And I'm packing a change of undies to go home in.

I thought of that but I hazard a guess they will have bariatric johnnies so my hint will be covered

I took my robe, slippers, iPad, phone, charger, medicines (they didn't have one of mine), contact case, toothbrush, toothpaste, underwear, and change of clothes. I was pretty well set.

If you have any meds that are exspensive take them with you. I only took my phone charger and phone. They charge you for everything wether you take it or not. Except the exspensive meds.

I packed a change of underwear, tablet, phone, charger, lip balm, lotion, and baby wipes. I overpacked. I ended up using my phone, charger, and lip balm. I was discharged 24 hours after surgery.

I took pjs to change into before I started walking and my own slippers...I hate hospital gowns and those socks. Hygiene items, phone/tablet/chargers. A book if you don't read on a tablet.

I'm glad you mentioned meds I'll be sure to pack my own.

The only thing I'm taking that hasn't been mentioned- a long handled backscratcher, in case I itch and also to reach things I can't. But will take all advice to heart for the future Rosey deflating and re alignment Day!
