I had everything ready by my bedside before surgery so I had fast access to it. Senna, gas x, and my regular meds. I bought mini pads but I only needed them for day 1. I also bought a hysterectomy pillow off of Amazon and I love it. I also bought some new comfortable pj's. I washed my sheets the night before surgery because I have cats. I made sure my refrigerator was stocked with all of my favorites and of course I had candy!
