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.

Awesome beautiful _disaster, keep up the good work. Congratulations

Everything went fine. They found a hiatal hernia so that made it take longer. Already up and walking hoping to go home tomorrow at noon

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.

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

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

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.

I have sleep apnea and have had a CPap machine for about 2 years. I cannot wait to get rid of that machine!

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.
