Night clothes (avoid snaps and long gowns), bathrobe, and sturdy nonskid slippers or shoes if staying overnight. Comfortable clothes to wear home. Personal toiletry items such as toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, comb or brush, deodorant, and razor, although these items are available at no charge during your stay.
What to pack for hospital
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes including low-heeled comfortable shoes. Shirts or blouses with buttons in front are usually best. When you arrive, we will provide you with a surgical gown and non-slip socks to wear during your visit. Please make every effort to arrive on time for your appointment.
In order to make sure you're ready for day surgery, please make sure you bring:
You'll be asked to take off any jewelry, including barrettes and hair ties, and you'll need to take out contact lenses if you wear them. You'll be given a hospital gown to wear in the operating room.
What Not to Do: Do not smoke, eat, or drink anything, including water, candy, gum, mints and lozenges after midnight on the night before surgery. If you do not follow these instructions, your surgery may be cancelled or delayed. Do not shave your surgical area before your procedure.
Before you head into surgery, you'll likely be given a hospital robe to put on, so what you wear to the hospital is really up to you. However, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing and footwear that's easy to take on and off as needed and a spare change of underwear (you'll never know when it might come in handy).
Before you go to the operating room, you'll first change into a gown. The nurse will remind you to remove things like your jewelry, glasses or contact lenses, hearing aids, or a wig if you have them. A nurse checks your heart rate, temperature, blood pressure, and pulse.
In addition, the surgical table comes with a safety strap that can be used on the patient's arms or legs to help prevent them from moving during the procedure.
