what to wear & pack ?

I will be packing later on tonight for my surgery tomorrow, I was wondering what would be good to take and not to take? I am having my surgery at Norton Suburban with Dr.Shina, I forgot to ask about house coats & house slippers, does anyone know if you are allowed to wear your own "like to use when you get up to walk the halls so noone can see your bare behind lol"?   Thanks Toni

Sorry that no one made it around to replying to u.  I was gonna let post ops do it. lol Dont pack much hun.  You wont need it.  Wear loose fittin clothes and take ur slippers with u.  You can take a housecoat or ask for an extra gown and wear it like one.  Take chap stick, u will need it,  and your regular bathroom/shower type stuff. Good luck.  You will be in my thoughts and prayers!

Good Luck!! you will need a lot less than you take!  I wore my own gowns and robes for walkin the halls!

I recommend (like everyone else said...) pack lightly! You will be zonked out and won't use the half the stuff you take. For a robe, I just used two hospital gowns - one like normal and one turned around backwards like a jacket. Don't forget chapstick and a good lotion. If you have long hair, a couple ponytail holders will suit you just fine since you won't be showering. Also, take some slip-on houseshoes and socks if your feet get cold a lot. Don't forget your basic toilettries. Other than that, you will probably just want to sleep the whole time. :) Good luck!
