location:  Transition  >  Bottom Surgery  >  Packing List This packing list was for international travel and is fairly extensive, because we weren’t sure what the availability was going to be of some of the items, especially of the medical and specialty things. If you are not traveling internationally, some of the things that we brought with us would probably be easier to just purchase at your destination if needed. Items in bold are the things I found to be essential Items in strikethrough are the things we brought, but I did not use them at all Items I wish I had brought are listed at the bottom of this page.
