Hospital bag

[Drealeeanne 13]

My surgery is July 30th and, being a planner by nature, I’ve made a list of what I should include in my hospital bag for my one night. Is there anything I’m not considering?

Leggings
Hoodie
Camisole
Slippers
Deodorant
Carmex/Burt’s
Lotion
Socks
Sports bra
Baby wipes
Dial soap
Face wash
Underwear
Battery pack
Phone
Book
Extra long phone cable
Headphones
Headwrap
Glasses case
Mouthwash
Toothbrush
Toothpaste
WW Blanket
Gas ex thin strips

I know some people swear by those Gas-X strips, but I never needed them. Not once.

If you like your eyeglasses as clean as I do, throw a lens cloth in your bag.

Good luck!

I legit only used the following out of everything I packed:

Dry mouth spray - life saver for right after surgery when they won't let you drink anything
Lip Balm - same reason
Sweatpants
Slippers
Deoderant
Cellphone with charger and extra long cable.
Pillow
Blindfold and Ear plugs - recovery rooms / wards are far from quiet!

That's honestly all I used. I wore the same clothes out as I wore in.

I wore same clothes out as I did in!

I brought all that stuff too but didn’t end up reading etc. slept and walked a lot.

Really only used biotine spray , face wipes and phone charger. The hospital gives you tooth paste and mouth wash etc - hospitals are dirty lol unless you plan on throwing away your toothbrush you bring from home

Good luck- you’ll do great!!

Oh.... I did bring sweat pants ! Walking in those gowns is horrible lol. I wish I brought a zip up hoodie or robe!

Wow I’m having my surgery July 30th also. Working on my list as well. I also have some hair ties and neck pillow.

[BostonWLKC 807]

Yes to hair ties!

I also had some crystal light for my Water. Other that that I packed pretty much the same as you have planned. Oh flip flops.

I know everyone says to bring a sports bra, I guess because that's more comfortable, but pulling a sports bra over your head and shoulders can be like wrestling with an enormous rubber band. Personally, I'm going with an easy front clasp bra

And I will take a camisole, no I'm not flat , post-surgery maybe down the road, it's red not see thru, but I'm stlll C cup, not for their comfort, mine.

I know that I way over packed. I definitely was not in the mindset to read or anything. I maybe watched some TV when I wasn't sleeping. I stayed in the hospital gown until I was discharged, just easier this way and I did not care.

Take what you want, I don't regret over packing or anything.
