jlw1324 18 Posted October 4, 2013 Ok post op ladies... I'm up on the 22nd. Question for hospital..bring your own slippers or not? iPad mini or not? How many times are they checking you in the middle of the night? :-) I was given the socks with treads and just wore them for the 2 days there. I walked the halls with them on too. I don't have an iPad but did have my iphone. I was barely on it since I was pretty out of it the first day and only used it briefly the second day. Everyone is different so you may want to bring it just in case!! My nurses were always checking on me and doing vitals several times during the night. But I was too out of it for them to have bothered me. Good luck to you! Each day seems to be getting a little better!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
red31 40 Posted October 4, 2013 Okay, so I was given the non slip socks, but I found some nice fuzzy ones at Wal-Mart in a two pack for 3 dollars. It was worth it to me. As far as bringing a ipad or anything. That's your call I was sleeping most of the time I was there and didn't even think about ipads or anything. I had my cell phone and that was good enough. Your going to be tired from the drugs and they are going to have you walking. Best of luck! I would make sure you bring chapstick!! That was a must for me.

RebecaSparkles 247 Posted October 5, 2013 I used my ipad the whole time. Hardly got any sleep bc I was constantly in pain/ waiting for pain meds. I'd be good the first hour after my dose but then the next hour I was counting down. I set an alarm on my phone to help remind me to ask for my meds. allons-y Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fallingwhisper 187 Posted October 5, 2013 Here are my battle wounds.. The area with gauze was where my drain was At least your incision is above your belly button, they did mine inside! That's most painful incision so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bnape29 30 Posted October 5, 2013 At least your incision is above your belly button' date=' they did mine inside! That's most painful incision so far[/quote'] My most painful is the one where the drain was and the one below the drain site. The one below the drain site is where he took the stomach out, he said it will be more painful bc there are a few stitches closing some of the abdominal muscle. How do I find our fbook group ?
