Exciting times!
All I took was a baggy shirt, comfy pants, easy slip on shoes (wore them in to pre-op and home). I had chapstick, didn't need it much. Listened to my iPod for about 7minutes lol. I took toothbrush, paste, hairbrush, a sample sized hand sanitizer and a pillow.
I did take some feminine hygeine products ... not only because my surgeon recommended it, but also because I of course started the day before surgery.

Congratulations!  Maybe something to read? But maybe that is why you have the laptop.

Don't take a lot.  I promise you're not gonna want much.

Take your toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, etc. if you really like your own.  Otherwise they will have all that stuff for you.  I just like mine better.

Take your pillow with you...it helps in the hospital and on the ride home. I took my lap top and ipod and I never touched my lap top and listened to my ipod maybe for 10 min. You will be sleeping and walking most of the time in the hospital. Good luck and I will keep u in my prayers

 This post might be too late, but the 2 things I did not have that I really wish I did were 

1. my own pillow, getting comfortable after surgery is near impossible due to the air they shot inside you, a few extra comfy pillows would have really helped.

2. Mouth wash, a good kind, strong  My breath was horrible and the stuff they gave me might as well been water for all it did.  I didn't even want to talk to people when they came into the room 
.

Good luck.  Just remember that the way you are going to feel the first week after surgery WILL GO AWAY!  It might be hard to believe that at times, but you do return to normal.
