Orthopedic Hospital of Oklahoma

What Should You Bring to the Hospital?

  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing on the day of your surgery. This may be particularly important if you are having outpatient surgery; you will need to wear this outfit home after you have been discharged.
  • Wear your eyeglasses instead of contact lenses on the morning of your surgery. It is easier to remove your glasses prior to surgery. If you are going to be staying with us following your surgery, you may want to bring your contact lenses, case, and solution to use once you are settled into your room after surgery.
  • If you wear a hearing aid or dentures, you should wear these to the hospital.
  • If you are going to be staying at the hospital after surgery, you may want to bring personal toiletries and other items you may want to use during your stay.
  • Please leave all jewelry and other valuables, such as cash and credit cards, at home or with a family member in the Surgical Waiting Area.
