I had mine done with plication on may 24. All I can say is do what the dr tells you! Are you getting a hernia repair or plication? Good luck!

I would just say to have all your stuff ready for when you come home. Did they give you a list? Things like Protein drinks, Popsicle,Chap-stick, pain meds,broth, crystal light, Gatorade G-2, comfy clothes for after surgery, and a pillow for the ride home to hold your stomach. The pillow also helps when you are getting up and down from the sitting position. If you have a Sonic there ice is great if you have nausea and can't handle anything else. Oh and I forgot about gas-x and something for nausea. Good luck

When you know enough to ask, there is lots of advice here. I will be best if you ask specific questions so we know what you are curious about.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
