From what I researched, a pillow to hold against your belly for the ride home after surgery has been recommended Next Wednesday is my big day! Good luck to you!!

My day is Thursday. I agree with the pillow. I've read a few suggest the same.

I bought the GasX strips. I won't get the mess till after surgery. Best of luck to you.

You may not be able to take the chewable ones early on. The strips dissolve completely, but the chewables may put material in your sleeve that your doctor doesn't want there in the first few days.

Thanks for the heads up. I bought them because my doctor advised me to get those.. why would he tell me to get those?

Your doctor's advice trumps all. If he said that was what you should get, go with that.

I've read a few posts that people say to pack some chapstick. Since you're not allowed much after surgery, your lips can get super dry and irritated.
