Can you tell I am excited??? During pre-op appt this week the surgeon told me I also didn't have to so Magnesium Citrate the day before surgery, that rocks!!!

Me? I am thinking to take my pjs, toiletries, comfy clothes or a dress for discharge, my book, laptop, cellphone and charger, notebook with pen, and maybe a robe. How about you?

I'm thinking comfy clothes, toiletries, someone said lip balm, cell phone, charger, and can't think what else. I was thinking a robe, but they said they have some if I need one. On my booklet about the hospital, it said I can't use a cellphone in the room...but I'm going to anyways.

I am a nurse and worked in a hospital for five years. There is no reason you cannot have a cell phone. Old analog cell phones use to mess with the tele monitors but cell phones of this decade do not. Most the nurses should let you bc there is no reason you can't.

I've always heard cellphones are fine except near the oscillating ventilator

I used my celly all day when I was in for my stay. Even watched NFL Sunday Ticket on the ipad. It was not a problem at all... Kind nurses even charged my phone for me when it got drained and I couldnt get up and do it myself!

      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.
