I brought my phone, charger, tablet (with Kindle app) and chapstick (non-alcoholic, I took my daughter's Finding Dory chapstick!) Also my CPAP machine as recommended.

Didn't really use anything. Never took out the tablet. Barely looked at my phone. Didn't hook up the CPAP (they woke me every two hours to walk so I figured it would be useless). Used the chapstick maybe once or twice. Really all I wanted to do was sleep sleep sleep and nothing else.

Good luck!

I brought phone, charger, tablet, kindle, all kinds of electronics. Useless. Like previously stated all I wanted to do was sleep. I do recommend easy shoes, a change of clothes, bath stuff (so you can shower with the nurses help) and a toothbrush.

Just yourself I brought everything from phone to coloring books and used nothing and I was in the hospital for a week. Everything is going to go smoothly for you so you'll be out of there so soon!!

It really depends on how long you are staying in for but the things I took and used were:

Change of clothes for going home (baggy dress as I couldnt stand anything round my tummy)

Toiletries/hair brush

GasX strips

Lip balm (dont use Vasaline if you are on oxygen after the surgery!!)

Mobile and charger

Ipad/kindle and charger

Some magazines

3 nightdresses (I stayed in 5 nights)

For the drive home, my husband brought a pillow so I could put the seat belt round it.

Best wishes for tomorrow !!
