Hi Hun,
Don’t take too much you really don’t need and won’t use everything!!
I’d say the essentials are;
Dressing gown
Slippers
Non metal hair tie
Magazine/phone charger
Front fastening top
Comfy slip on shoes
V shaped pillow
You will not feel up to applying make up and doing your hair afterwards, trust me! And I was told not to put a sports bra on immediately as the strapping is supportive enough! You will be given all the medication you need and whatever you request (I asked for something to stop the sickness) make sure your clothes are warm as I found when I was cold my muscles tensed up and really hurt!! The v shaped pillow is an absolute god send for the journey home afterwards, could not have been without it!!
Hope this helps xxxx
