Lost OH Packing List

So since January I have kept an OH binder. Every time I come on the site I make sure it is close by. There are sections for everything preop, postop, tips, recipes, shopping list, etc. There was even a section for what to pack in my hospital bag.

Now I am having Surgery on Tuesday morning, and that page is MIA!!!

I am thinking I took it out in March when I thought I was having surgery.....Shame on me for not putting it back! & I can't quite figure out how to search that topic on here (anybody want to help me with that too?)

So what should I bring??

I want to pack light...here is what I have so far:

Small pillow
comfy clothes for ride home
toothbrush, toothpaste
hairbrush, hair ties
chapstick
phone charger
paperwork

Am I missing anything?

How long are you planning to be in the hospital? If more than one night, I would take toiletries. And those comfy clothes for the ride home need to be something with a sretchy waist... definitely not jeans.

The only other thing I can think is possibly earplugs and your CPAP if you have sleep apnea.

Good luck!

My surgeon will be keeping me there for three days. I can't shower until I get home so I am guessing that means I better bring some deodorant! And I actually packed the most comfy pair of pj's that I own to wear home, I don't care what I look like :) 

Thank you for your help!

Ok, since you're going to be there for 3 days, do you have a laptop?  If so, I would seriously consider bringing it so you can get on the interne****ch a movie (if yours has a dvd player) etc... or I would bring something to read.  You may not get bored because you may be spending most of your time sleeping, sipping, or walking, but it wouldn't hurt to have a paperback with you just in case.

Perhaps any medications you might be taking.  Check the link below.  I used the search at the top tight of this website and got these results.

If you have a cell phone that could come in handy to call people that would be concerned about you.

Maybe something to read ... a book, a magazine, a kindle or nook or similar device.

Maybe an ipod for music to listen to or other mp3 device.  Get some audiobooks.

Just thinking while you are lying around things that might entertain you.  You will be sleeping a lot the first day or two but on day two there will be enough time awake where having something to do would be nice.

If you have a laptop or tablet pc that might be nice.  Keep us posted and all.  Not that it would be your biggest or even close to the top concern ... lol.

I was only there one night so for me it was quite simple.  Your list already includes everything I brought.

Good luck and see you on the losers bench soon.  

 My surgery was the 26th, I came home on the 27th. This is all I needed. 

Deodorant 
Toothbrush
Toothpaste 
Slippers
Wore comfy clothes to hospital, same ones home
Hair tie
Cell phone 
Cell charger 
House coat 

I took my iPad but between sleeping and walking I didn't have time to use it. I think that was it. Hope this helps! Good luck! 

Camera! Take pictures

Thank you everyone for taking the time to reply, great ideas!! Thanks again :)

 I'm getting my stuff ready for tomorrow too! My surgery isn't until the afternoon though.

Good luck tomorrow and we'll compare notes sometime maybe. It's crazy that it's actually happening tomorrow!
