Hospital bag!!!
Hey all was just making a list to start packing my hospital bag(having surgery in 5 days) and wanted to make sure I got everything I will need for a 2 night stay...what did those of you who had your surgery already bring with you???

I brought loose fitting pj bottoms, a big t shirt, a zip up sweater, underwear, toothbrush & toothpaste, face wash & a face cloth, my ipod & headphones, a charger for my phone, a few magazines, my cpap machine (very important!) and a pair of flats to wear walking around the halls. I also brought my tablet, but I didn't even take it or my ipod out of my bag. I did use my phone a fair bit though. I wore the hospital gown the first day and then was able to change in to my pj's and just went home in those.
Things I wish I'd had - chapstick & another elastic for my hair because the one I had broke.
Good luck during surgery, you're almost in the home stretch now!!

Hair brush, tooth brush, slippers warm jamas actually wore yoga sweets and a sweat shirt that I wore back to the hotel as well. Chap stick hand cream, face clothes and baby wipes. TWH had lockers and I had a small lock that I did use, to keep my ipad and purse in. I also brought an extra blanket a soft bamboo one that is warm and comforting as well. Five days left that will fly by.
ps some say place you lip balm in a zip lock bag so it does not roll onto the floor
Thanks so much you all your advise was greatly appreciated i will definitely do all that was posted here...Thanks
