Things to bring to the hospital?

 I did get a list of things to bring, but wanted input from you guys on things you felt were important to have.  15 days and counting till surgery! Oh, also first day of my liquid diet!!!!!

Honestly, I didn't need a thing at the hospital. After surgery I mostly slept and amazingly, was discharged the next afternoon! I made sure I had comfy clothes to wear home (nothing with a tight waistband) and easy- to- get- on shoes would be good. I was swollen and it was hard to get my shoes on to go home. :) Best of luck to you!!

 Thanks Dorene!

and cell phone

butr most of time you  will be walking   and resting

Hi Ashley,

Congrats on your upcoming surgery date!  I ended up over packing; even though I cut my list down considerably, there were still things I didn't end up using.  But I still only brought a small bag, and I figure having those things with me put me more at ease knowing I was fully prepared, so no biggie.  Here are the things I definitely used:

mp3 player with earbuds
flip flops to wear in the shower
pair of loose, comfy clothes to go home in
cell phone and charger
C-PAP machine

I brought a book with me, but didn't end up using it because with the drugs I couldn't really focus enough to read.  I used my mp3 player like crazy and I'm so glad I brought it!!  Not only did the music help me sleep, but the earbuds blocked any noise. 

Best wishes to you!!

 Thanks for the tips!
