Surgery day tomorrow
Everyone recommends lip balm, since your lips can dry out. I just wore loose, comfy clothes to the hospital and wore the same clothes home. I took my kindle, charging cables, and my phone. I didn't use my kindle at all, but I used my phone a lot and was glad to have the charging cable.
Remember to walk and sip as much as possible once you're into your hospital room.

Chapstick was the best thing that I took. I didn't take much: I wore the same clothes to and from the hospital. While the hospital would provide toothbrush and paste, I did take my own. I also took my kindle. Since I ended up staying for almost a week I was thankful to have it although I understand several people never even use theirs.
I wish you a speedy recovery!
