SEPT 26 2011
Congratulations and good luck on your surgery. My surgery date is Sept 6th. I am looking forward to having the energy to do things again with my kids. They are teens now and I feel like I have missed some very important years just coasting through life.
Members of OH have posted awesome hospital lists of items they found very useful during their stay. I've compiled a few things I have found.
- Chaptick
- small personal fan
- ear plugs or headphones to block out noise
- cell phone/mp3 - charger
- camera
- pillow (very useful for ride home also to hold against your stomach)
- a front closure bra
- slippers/slip on shoes
- wear baggy clothes to the hospital and wear the same ones home
- elastic for hair
- pads

What should I bring with me to the hospital
Basic toiletries (comb, toothbrush, etc.) and clothing may be provided by the hospital, but most people prefer to bring their own. Choose clothes for your stay that are easy to put on and take off. Because of your incision, your clothes may become stained by blood or other body fluids. Other ideas:
- reading and writing materials
- crossword and other puzzles
- personal toiletries
- bathrobe

I am also having my surgery on Sept 26. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I am thinking what it will be like to have a jawline, and not be tired all the time. So many thoughts run through my head. I have always dreaded having pics taken but I think now I would like to have a few and then continue through my surgery and beyond. So I guess a camera is going to be going in my bag.
