    Here's some recommendations for you to pack prior to your procedure and/or have at home for when you return.

    We've prepared this list based on provider and patient feedback over the years, and provide it as a courtesy. We hope it helps you in any way.

    Gas X Strips (not the pills).
    A heating pad: Pack your heating pad where it can be easily accessed after surgery.
    An extra long extension cord for your heating pad just in case you need it.
    An app of your preference on your phone for when you are on wifi, to freely communicate with your friends and family (and make sure they have the app as well).
    Lip balm or chap-stick.
    Sunglasses.
    Slippers to wear around the hospital.
    Warm socks.
    Loose fitting clothing (shorts, t-shirt and comfortable pants).
    Rolling luggage to help facilitate "no heavy lifting". Pack light.
    Hibiclens: This is a popular skin cleanser to bathe with before surgery and for the first week after. Your local drugstore may have it or something similar, if not, search for a small bottle of it at eBay.com
    Alcohol swabs or lotion: to use to take the adhesive off your skin.
    Steri-strips (butterfly stitches) - keep them at home for when your stitches are removed, apply them for a few extra days.
    Pill crusher to assist with taking your medicines on your journey home and/or after you get home.
    Perhaps a couple of flavors of bouillon cubes in case you might want them for the day you are traveling home and after you get home.

    If you need anything else from us in the meantime, please know that we're here for you every step of the way, just let us know how we may be of service! Congratulations once again! We wish you the best with your encounter and we hope to earn and receive a positive testimonial from you some day soon!

    Respectfully,

    Thanks! I've got everything now but the pill crusher and steri-strips. I hope I can fit all this in a light rolling bag and not have it weigh too much! Are you worried about carrying it around the airport? I am a little! But I guess if we check it, then we don't have to carry it that far.
