I don't think you need anything if it's just outpatient. I stayed 2 nights in the hospital and brought ready to drink protein shakes. I'm glad I did.

ID and comfortable clothes that are easy to put on, maybe elastic type of waistband, slip on shoes. I took a pillow to place between stomach and seat-belt.

Mari Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels!

Loose clothes that button up the front (I went to goodwill and bought a big denim workshirt and some baggy sweats

Slip on shoes

I didn't need anything else. I went in and was prepped. My surgeon showed up to draw on me.
My anesthesiologist came in to chat

I was wheeled away and woke up in recovery.

Was sent home the same day ... No time to need or use anything.

I was an overnight stay. I had my ipad, my clothes I wore in, and a pillow to hug coming home. That's it. Hospital supplied everything else.
