Biotene was a life saver for me. You use it to rise or your mouth the first day. Makes you feel like you had a big glass of water. Especially since you can't drink or eat anything. I also had my sleep mask, made getting some sleep in the morning possible. Light drives me crazy when I want to sleep.
Hope these ideas help. Blessings
Your doctor may not do a separate leak test. Mine did it before they removed the lap instruments while I was still out.
As far as what to bring, I suggest as little as possible. I wore a loose-fitting denim dress and flip-flops to the hospital, and that's what I wore home. I was only there 24 hours. Between recovery, sleeping, getting up to go to the bathroom, walking, and sleeping some more, I was discharged before I would have had a chance to do anything.
My throat was very sore. The hospital provided a spray bottle of Chloraseptic. Chapstick is a good idea, along with a hair brush. Have a pillow in the car for the ride home so you can hold it against your stomach. The hospital provides almost everything else - toothbrush, tooth paste, soap, lotion, etc. If you're staying longer than a day, bring something to entertain yourself with, but you'll find yourself sleeping or walking most of the time.
