Can you share the questions you asked your surgeon?

Of course: confirmed if he requires a catheter (no!). Asked about blood thinners or compression socks once I return home (hospital only), confirmed I can still take my normal meds the night before, asked at what point during pre op I would start getting the happy / relax drugs (not until I'm making the trek to the OR). Confirmed I will receive a abdominal binder ( this was based off all the positive things I've read on here, he said not everyone wants or needs them but they do have them so just ask the nurse). And then I asked about returning to different activities such as sex, he said let your body be the judge based on how I'm feeling.

Thank you! I have a list of questions; however, you just added several more. Thank you again for your time. Good luck!
