MAY BLESSINGS FOLLOW YOU. YOU WILL DO JUST GREAT DURING SURGERY AND AFTER. YOU SHOULD CONSIDER PACKING VERY LIGHT. THE HOSPITAL THAT I WENT TO PROVIDED ME WITH TOOTHPASTE, TOOTH BRUSH, DEODORANT, SOCKS, MOUTHWASH,GOWN, YA KNOW, THE BASICS. I WORE A LOOSE FITTING SHIRT AND A PAIR OF PANTS THAT WERE LOOSE FITTING AROUND MY WAIST AND A SPORTS BRA. BROUGHT ALONG AN EXTRA PAIR OF UNDERCLOTHES BUT I DID NOT NEED THEM BECAUSE AS SOON AS I GOT TO THE HOSPITAL I DRESSED IN THE HOSPITAL GOWN AND WAS TOLD TO REMOVE ALL OF MY OTHER CLOTHING, SO WHEN I WAS DISCHARGED I JUST PUT BACK ON WHAT I CAME IN. THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A HOSPITAL BAG TO PUT MY CLOTHES IN. IN ESSENCE JUST TAKE YOUR PILLOW AND YOURSELF. IF YOU HAVE A SLEEP APNEA MACHINE TAKE THAT ALSO. ANY JEWELRY, MONEY OR ANYTHING OF THAT SORT LEAVE IT AT HOME, IT IS SAFER THERE. NO PROBLEMS EVERYTHING SHOULD GO SMOOTHLY.
Good luck!! Here's to an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery!
I'd pack for a couple of nights. Better to have it with you and not need it than the other way around :)
