• Debit card or cash to pay for bedside TV/phone access from Tuesday evening
• Clothes to wear Wednesday
• Wash kit & towel (they'll get you up Friday morning and you can have a shower if you're up to it)
• NAS squash
• Dry mouth spray
• Mobile phone & charger
• Dressing gown & slippers
• Something to occupy yourself on Wednesday... book, iPod, laptop ? (there's no wifi so you'll need a dongle for internet access)
• Knickers for when you're catheter-free ! (sometime Friday)
• Pyjamas or nightie for when you're drip-free ! (probably Saturday)

If you're admitted to Farnborough Ward (the private wing) be prepared to be moved to a ward after your op...

Good luck hun!

Pretty much what RoseA said but there is a sticky in the FAQ section if you want to have a quick peek about what to take in (also what people took in and what they actually used!) xxxxx

Don't forget sanitary towels!
and maybe some Deflatine for wind if they allow you to take it.

Surgery can bring on a period though, me and another girl came on after surgery so you just never can tell.

As the boy scots say "always be prepared!" xxxx

I dont have periods due to PCOS and I had one after surgery so take something just incase!

What I used from what I took was: sippy cup, NAS squash, baby wipes, iPhone and charger, puzzle book, mini fan, dressing gown, slippers, toiletries, towel, clothes to go home, hair brush, medication, pen, um I think thats it.

Thanks hun ive started my list for shopping tomorrow. When you say sippy cup do you mean the toddler ones ?? xxx

 

[Grace]

Yes I'm still drinking from a sippy cup! It's a toddler one from Sainsburies.

 

[zns]

Yes a toddler one, I have two now lol, one from tesco and one from sainburys. It stops you from gulping down drinks and forces you to sip. Much easier than trying to remember not to just gulp.
