Well it's 12:30am here in North Carolina which means I only have 1 day till my surgery. It has been hell, I've cheated, but I'm ready!!! My surgery is at 7:30am so everyone say a prayer for me and I'll pray for you all. I have a heating pad, otc nausea meds (liquid), mederma, otc ibuprofen (liquid), shakes, ice pops, jello....anything i'm missing?

Congratulations! My surgery is on the 14th, the nurse suggested we all bring gas-x strips with us to the hospital. They go on your tongue and melt to help with the after surgery gas.

When you start feeling "gassy" walk.. Walking is excellent for getting rid of gas. I'm a surgical nurse too lol pain meds don't always work on has pain, but walking does you belch & fart & aww feel much better. Good luck!
