    Throat lozengers apartently you get a sore throat
    Anti sickness tablets anaestic can make you feel sick
    Lip balm as you get dry lips
    Saw someone had put breakfast biscuit for when you wake up as you will be starvin buy youl need something dry to eat
    Wipes
    Straws as you wont be able to lift your arms to drink
    Easy meals
    Paracetamol
    1 of those neck pillows
    And a v pillow
    Easy to get into clothes
    Button up or vest tops you can pull up not over

    I was a day case and was literally in the clinic for maybe 4 and a half hours, I took a button up night shirt, leggings and some pants, also took deodorant, I didn’t need anything else I didn’t even need the deodorant as your not allowed to use it. You think to yourself before that you need to bring so much stuff and you don’t as you won’t need or use half of it, once I had my op done, are my toast drank my tea I was ready to go home so got changed into my jamas and off I went. Pretty simple really. A must have is a v shaped pillow! I’m 2 days post op and this has helped me get through the past 2 nights at home. Good luck for your op xx

    To be honest you don’t need to take much, I just took over night stuff with general stuff for when we stayed at the hotel after. I wore comfy clothes there and put a button up pj top on to go to the hotel. As for food we never even thought to take a snack bag with us as we were too busy sorting the kids in the run up to leaving. I did get a biscuit straight away then a sandwich and a drink soon after that before we left. V pillows are good, I wasn’t going to bother getting one as got on fine in the hotel with the pillow there but my parents bought me one and it has been useful x
