BulletWithButterflyWings 423 Posted June 18, 2019 So surgery is in 30 hours and I just got most of my bag packed and ready to go. I have these things: *CPap *chapstick *deodorant *travel sized toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, my biotene, and soap) *eye mask, small Dove lotion tin *A change of panties *hairbrush and pony tail holders I plan on leaving in the clothes I come in with. All in all, i have a small Supernatural backpack that I've fit everything in surprisingly lol except the CPAP lol some of the stuff I'm taking is the same stuff I leave in there anyway lol. I use it as a purse so it can serve 2 purposes. Anything I need, I need to fit in it. Way less **** to keep up with. Oh and my travel pillow will be waiting for me in the car anyone else got anything to add to this? 4 1 alex76, Mom_of_Chaos, Timeka and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have a comfort item or if you like aromatherapy, that can be a nice touch. Like I will take my flameless candle whenever my time comes, candles are soothing to me and my aromatherapy spray. I need those 2 things to keep my anxiety at bay. Please let us know how you are doing.

So I'm not sure if I'm overpacking but I also packed pads (my nurse said women tend to get their menses from stress and the pads at the hospital are super uncomfortable), body wipes and feminine wipes.

catwoman7 11,221 Posted June 18, 2019 you probably won't need Shampoo and soap. I didn't take a shower while I was there == and if you do, they should have soap there. Although I guess it never hurts to bring them just in case. Biotene might be helpful, though - I remember having a really dry mouth 2 JessLess and ARMoma45 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alex76 184 Posted June 18, 2019 Im super excited for you- please post an update as soon as you're up to it. My date is July 3, just about 2 weeks away, and I'm slowly starting to feel the anxiety/ excitement too.I'll be spending 2 nights in the hospital, so I plan on taking my phone charger. Music always calms me so I'll also be bringing along my earbuds in my backpack. Other than that, our backpacks are pretty similar. Good luck to you!Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app 3 KarenLR75, ARMoma45 and Krimsonbutterflies reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GradyCat 3,695 Posted June 18, 2019 Maybe your phone and charger. I didn't feel up to using mine though. Sounds like you're ready. 2 KarenLR75 and ARMoma45 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djgirl19 276 Posted June 18, 2019 I recommend an extra long phone cord. I bought one the day before and was glad I did. Made me more mobile in bed. I was allowed to shower so I also used my toiletries, brush, lotion, lip balm, a hair clip, AirPods and a cardigan. And really comfy clothes that double as pjs so I looked decent and felt good. The rest of the time I was sleeping or talking with med team. 3 KarenLR75, Krimsonbutterflies and ARMoma45 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
