Me too! It's coming fast, I'm nervous but excited to get this part done.

Hi Jamison- I'm a suboxone program RN. I've had my patients go through various surgeries while on suboxone and do quite well. Your current dose may cover your post op pain, or your provider may provide you with a short term dose increase for the immediate post op period. There also other medication options to treat your post op pain. The surgery itself shouldn't affect your treatment, as suboxone is absorbed sublingually (under the tongue) rather than be absorbed by your stomach. Best of luck to you!

Yes to consignment stores! I've got a couple really good quality consignment shops in my area. A few years ago when I lost weight on my own I bought so much at them. Really reasonable, and I love the discounts you get for trade-in's. It really made it affordable to buy stuff I needed on the way down.

I'll be buying a pair of $1 flip flops at Old Navy this week to wear while in the hospital. I third what was said above, don't bring your own slippers from home unless they are machine washable! I'm OK tossing $1 flip flops, but not my nice comfy UGG slippers.
