Hi there

Not sure what you should take. When I had mine done in the States everything was supplied for me.
You will need something to wear home that is very comfortable around your mid section.
I took a book but never read LOL

I love the profile pic................... so cute

Take care
Here's to an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery
Post when you can

hi
All suggestions are good. You don't need much and I found that the staff in Guelph were wonderful. They made you feel so at ease. Good Luck and soon you will be on the bench.

I agree that you on't need much. Although I wish I had taken ear plugs because I found it difficult to sleep as I found the hospital very noisy. All the best for Monday. We'll be saving a spot on the bench for you!

Hiya,

If you are still menstruating, take a supply of your own pads (just in case). I prefer the super thin ones and the hospital has the brick kind. Sometimes the stress can bring on menstruation even if you just had it two weeks previously.

Very common.

I really used my ear plugs, slippers to walk the halls in, the same comfy clothes that I wore to the hospital. Don`t forget your charger for your cellphone and/or tablet.

If you use a CPAP machine do not forget that either!!
