Hi Rachel,
I had my op last month and took so much stuff with me and found I didn’t need any of it. ?The only things I would suggest are:
A drink/sweets for after op- my mouth was so dry
Phone/tablet or magazines for while you wait (my tv didn’t work ?)
And make sure you have loose clothes that are easy to put on to go home in, including a top with button or zip front
I didn’t use anything else at the hospital. As Pauline said a V pillow is definitely worth buying but I didn’t take it with me on my op day, I kept it back at the hotel. I also found a travel neck pillow was great for first few days post op, to make sitting in a chair more comfortable.
Good luck for you op! ?
