      Get your post-op vitamins. I had to start the day I was sent home and did not have any! I was told to only bring an ID and insurance card to the hospital, but needed my credit card to buy prescriptions, but could not. Pack bag and bring a chapstick, heating pad, gas-x strips, toothbrush to help you gag to burp, eye mask/shade.

       

      I would eat a filling last meal (not heavy embarrassing food that you don't want your doctor to see sitting in your stomach pouch). I ate a light meal the night before at 7:30PM. So from 7:30PM on Oct 6 to Oct 8 at 8AM I had no liquids or food. It was tough.

      I am sorry they did that to you.

      Get on the phone or go in person if you can and bug them about what they can do for you. They have already approved you, they owe you an explanation and how they will solve this for you so you can improve your health.

      Good luck, hopefully they won't make you wait too long.
