b.e.a.u.tiful_disaster 24 Posted January 13, 2016 I had my surgery Monday, January 11th and so far I feel pretty good. A little gasey, but I have no appetite at all, I'm drinking Water good, and I'm able to eat a little Jello, but I can't get much broth down. I'm not in any pain which is good.

arenea 61 Posted January 17, 2016 Hi everyone, I tried to search for threads that discuss helpful things to bring to the hospital. Does anyone have a list of things that made your stay more comfortable. I know I have to stay an extra day due to traveling. My doctor don't want me to go home right away.

Does anyone have a list of things that made your stay more comfortable. I know I have to stay an extra day due to traveling. My doctor don't want me to go home right away. hygiene products, loose pajama pants, slippers, under ware, socks, bra , (I brought a sports bra) extention cord so my cell phone charger could reach it, iPad , cell phone ,chapstick, bonnet or scarf, the hospital gave me gas strips and anything else I needed they treated me like royalty , I never had any gas due to me walking , walking and more walking the hospital hallways, congratulations on your upcoming surgery and many blessings to you, it like a roller-coaster, lots of fears, and stalls and different emotion, my only regret is not getting this sooner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redvet 39 Posted January 18, 2016 Arenea, also don't forget to take a small pillow for your stomach for the ride in the car, I heard you need to have something to place against your tummy for a while. Also you may want to take something to read while you are in the hospital Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Hi everyone, I tried to search for threads that discuss helpful things to bring to the hospital. Does anyone have a list of things that made your stay more comfortable. I know I have to stay an extra day due to traveling. My doctor don't want me to go home right away. They really supply everything. I wore the same clothes home I wore to the hospital with the exception changing my panties. I was only in the clothes about 1.5 hours before surgery. Take as little as possible. The only thing I used that I brought along with me, was my phone and lip balm. They provided everything else for me. I didn't even need lip balm really. When I woke up my lips were dry and the recovery nurse put vaseline on them for me. I was only in the hospital about 26 hours.

losergrl75 277 Posted January 19, 2016 Did anyone have sleep apnea before their surgery? I went back to my pulmonary Doctor today and I have to have a cpap, totally bummed. I have sleep apnea and have had a CPap machine for about 2 years. I cannot wait to get rid of that machine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still want to be cute, when you look good, you feel good:) that's exactly why I got my hair braided before surgery. One less thing to worry about. Plus I'm natural and I didn't want to be struggling trying to comb it with my incisions still sore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
