Roscoe Medical Cervical Sleep Pillow with Indentation, White
I brought this 100% cotton button up sleep dress to change into when leaving the hospital and it was perfect! It was nice and loose/did not pull on anything and the button up made it easy to get on/off.

I especially needed this the first week with all of the surgical gas! Definitely stock up to have at home.

Super helpful in the hospital when I had the most nausea. I sipped on some to go while I was on the way home.

This is hands down my favorite heating pad. It’s lasted me years and I appreciate having multiple settings. I first used it on my low back and transitioned it to my stomach when I was ready.
