Is there anything I should take to the hospital that you wished you would have?? Suggestions are more than welcome.

Never say, never - It always seems to bite you in the butt later......

I packed my robe, slippers, and pjs and toiletries and even my sugar free calorie free kool aid (similair to Mio).  The only thing I used was my robe and slippers.  I at the time wished I had taken my unflavored unjury protein only because I was nervous I wouldn't like the hospitals but I quite enjoyed theirs and since surgery, can't stand my unflavored unjury!!!!  I've had to purchase alternatives!!  I only got my cell out once!  I had the tv on the whole time but it's only been a week since my surgery and I can't remember anything I might have watched!  I was either walking or resting or sipping!!!  First day, just slept and walked!  :)

I did much the same at my hospital stay.  One night and I really don't remember much from the first morning.  The second day my surgeon visited to check on me and I wasn't really awake enough to even thank him.  It was a great experience though, the nurses were awesome!

I took 2 pairs of shorts / t-shirts - to sleep in - instead of the hospital gown. Can also use those to do all your walking. Separate shorts & shirts for hotel stay - walking around & down by pool.  Make sure everything is VERY Loose around the waist- you actually put on 10# of gas & fluid weight  & feel pretty bloated the first week.

I was told at my boot camp not to bring anything to the hospital, that everything needed will be supplied. Also they recommended wearing loose comfortable clothing to the hospital and to wear that same outfit home. (My Dr only required overnight stay). Worked out great for me!
