Okay, so what is everyone taking to the hospital?
Hi Monica,
The number one item I've heard most people want and use the most is a tube of Chapstick. Then a comb, toothbrush and paste, slippers, and a great since of humor. We all are going to look like hell after surgery and they want you up and walking the Hall's every few hours. You will take one look at your next door neighbor and laught and she will join you because you will look just as bad, LOL.

I made a list so that I will not miss anything. Here it goes.
lip balm, saftey pins, small fan, slippers, robe, small pillow (for the ride home), a book, the gastric surgery book, walkman, notebook with pen, extra under garments (bra, panties, socks), phone card, my PDA, deoderant, shampoo, lotion, body spray, toothbrush, toothpaste.
Going to wear my loose fitting clothes there for the wear home.
Hi Monica, I've packed a short robe,three nightgowns(I don't like the hosp.gowns!) four pair of panties, slippers, brush, toothbrush, toothpaste, lip smoother,shampoo, conditioner,gel,lotion(all of these are travel sized in a small bag,I got it at walmart) Oh I almost forgot tampons and pads!!! I'm going to wear the clothes home that I wear TO the hosp.,but without the bra!!!! Oh yeah,and my pillow,pen/paper, phone numbers of people that my Mom and hubbie are going to call after surgery a book and my camara!!!
