Get some SF Popsicles, they are a life saver if you can't keep other foods down. If you have to cook for people in your household, cook some dishes for them before surgery. Get a pillow for the ride home. Chapstick will come in handy. And if you are super nervous before surgery, you can ask your doctor for something to calm your nerves. Good Luck!

you know what? i had it 7 days ago, and it really was no big deal. took about an hour, i woke up in no pain except a scratchy throat from the intubation. That lasts several days. The worst part of the whole thing is getting rid of the gas they blow into you during surgery. Horrible gas cramps for a couple of nights, then fine. My insisions are starting to itch, but that is no big deal. You will be fine!!

Thanks !!!
