Hi Susancae! You must be getting excited! My surgery is 2 weeks ago and it cannot get here fast enough. Yahoo!

I received a little list of things to bring with me to the surgery, and have also learned about a few other things that might work for you, too:

• Wear comfy, loose-fitting clothes to the clinic on the day of surgery
• Wear flat shoes (no laces)
• Bring slippers, warm socks, a change of undies and a housecoat
• Bring a pillow for the car to put across your tummy - this will help relieve the pressure of the seatbelt
• iPod

Hope this helps...!

:-)

Congratulations Susancae and good luck to you. I am 7 days post-surgery and I 100% concur with amponder that you must take some chapstick!!

Good luck for Tuesday..

Since you can't eat or drink after midnight the day before your surgery I had a LOT of Water before I went to bed. As much as I could stand. This saved me from being dehydrated and super parched in the morning. I was thirsty, but not as bad as I would have been. I also brought cough drops to the hospital, they help get the saliva going when you can only take little sips after surgery.

At home I had a heating pad on deck, and liquid Tylenol.

Good luck!
