Can anyone tell me........

you need to bring flip flops with you, this way you can walk the halls and throw out those cheap flip flops so you don't bring hospital germs home with you. ANDI

good luck to you both bathrobe and slippers -- i brought chapstick too but didn't have to use it -- they felt as tho i needed breathing treatments cuz i had bronchitis years ago when i smoked and the treatments made my mouth and throat really moist it was nice oh, and bring a sense of humor -- you might really need it Roberta

If you have to use Phospho Soda the night before, put balmex on before you take it. Good advice from a nurse in my surgeons office. Also, buy underwear a little too big so you can put it on comfortably after surgery and tuck the drain in there. Finally, I brought pretty pjs, robe and slippers, so I felt comfortable walking around the floor after surgery.

Christine: I brought my own slippers but they will give you socks to wear. When you are in bed you will have the compression stockings on you. They feel great! I don't think you'll need a robe or pj's. The room will be warm and you'll be fine with the hospital gown. Chap stick and hand cream is a must, a brush or comb, something to put up your hair if you do it and maybe a book to read but I'm sure you won't do it...you'll sleep when you can or watch tv or talk to hubby. good luck and I hope you are doing ok with the clear liquids.

I brought alot with me and never opened the bag. All I needed was my robe, slippers and a fan. The room was extremely hot. They gave me tooth paste etc.
