jamilyne 102668 1,207 Posted October 28, 2013 Easy clothes to come home in (button down shirt & pull up pants, comfy button down pjs. I'm not sure if you need anything else - they will prob provide most things. Maybe some Chapstick, book or magazines for something to do.

Mel7 47 Posted October 28, 2013 Thanks for your advice and support! Does it hurt much? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greatlyblessmom 33 Posted October 28, 2013 Best wishes and prayers are with you tomorrow. I am 10 days out, and yes I will say it hurt some, but not nearly as much as I expected. I pretty much slept for the first 2 days, but I did not have to use the pain meds very often. Just be very good to yourself and don't expect too much too soon. Everyone is different. Hope you have the best possible experience. 1 Bandista reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamilyne 102668 1,207 Posted October 28, 2013 Does it hurt much- the gas hurts the worse. My incisions didn't really hurt that bad. I felt better at day 5. Just take your pain medications as needed and walk. Walking will help get rid if some of the gas pains. You can ask your doctor before leaving the hospital if you can have gas-x strips also ask if you can use a heating pad. Warm tea also helped me. Good luck!
