justwant2lose · September 17, 2007

My surgery is only two days away...I am so happy and yet so nervous.

Does anyone have any advice or tips to getting through the hospital stay?:help:

Good luck. Please let me know how it goes. I'm sure you will do fine.

I will be thinking of you. I have 4 days to go. I don't have much advice in terms of surgery tips, but bring some magazines or books. I'm also taking a robe, so I can walk around after surgery and not flash anyone. Good luck and post as sonn as you can to let us know how it went. I'll be waiting:ranger:

Just relax and take care of yourself. Ask for pain meds if you need them and get plenty of rest.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all of your feedback, and I promise to post as soon as I can.

Wear loose comfortable clothing and slip on shoes. Take a little travel pillow with you to have when you go home (place between your tummy and the seatbelt). If you can get your pain meds ahead of time, try to. Have a heating pad ready at home, some gas-x, and lots of Clear Liquids. Congrats! See ya on the flip side!
