I brought a few things from home. I could have worn my own clothes, I just didn't want to change. Beeba has a nice list of items to bring and things to do before you have surgery. Keep in mind, everyone will have a different experience and support afterwards. You may like different items or use them all and then some. After surgery, I found having a ton of different pillows and sleeping places works best. Good luck and keep us posted on how you are doing during your recovery. -M ---
