What to take??

I thought this might help you post ops still trying to pack for the hospital. -YOUR own pillows--this was great and a must in my opinion -a personal fan--I got hot a few times and the large fan wasn't always available -toothbrush and toothpaste -feminine pads--I didn't need them, thank goodness -underwear--I took 5 pairs (I was there 4 days) -cell phone and charger - lip balms--I used Carmex and Chapstick over night treatment (I never had dry or chapped lips) -a set of loose fitting comfy clothes for the ride home -deorderant -travel size shampoo and soap--I showered before leaving the hospital Hope this helps anyone who might still need it!

Duh, its should read pre-ops!!

Thank you Christie. I am scheduled for 8/30 and I was sitting making a list of things to p/u at the store. I read several postings and noticed where several women mentioned taking pads or tampons. I started to panic. I haven't had my final visit with Dr. yet, (tomorrow) and I really don't know what to expect. I didn't think I would have any type of vaginal drainage, but when I saw that I really became puzzled. After reading your posting, I realize that it is in case your cycle starts. Dumb me. LOL
