Here's my TR shopping list, so you can compare it with yours.

Things I brought from home:
 Dial Antibacterial Soap
 Ibuprofen (Advil, Nuprin, Motrin)
 Zantac 150
 Gas-X OR Mylanta Gas (Mylanta cost less)
 Senokot S: Stool softener AND Laxative combined
 Warm Socks, Granny Panties and Comfy Clothes

Things I took, but didn't use:
 Chewing Gum
 Chapstick
 Tylenol
 BBT Thermometer
 notepad
 camera
 book

Things I bought at CH:
 non-carbonated clear liquids for after surgery (such as tea, bottled water, apple juice, lemonade without pulp)
 Jello
 Applesauce
 Snacks for DH

Things I would Definitely Leave at home:
 Laptop computer

I didn't take or use a pillow or ice pack, but some have found it very helpful. I guess it depends what you are used to.

You may want to read this thread on the same topic which has lots of useful advice: http://forums.tubal-reversal.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi/topic/3/4424.html?

Best wishes to you for a safe surgery and speedy recovery !
