Haven't been here in a while. I will be having surgery next week.

Hi All,

My surgery will be on November 3rd. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. Any suggestions for this week or day of the surgery ?

Thanks!

Congratulations! Just follow your doc's instructions and you'll be fine! What a great fall gift you're giving yourself!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

It seems like it takes FOR-ever for the day to arrrive and then, BAM - you're in recovery!!! You're going to do just fine. The hardest part was dealing with the anxiety only to find out it really isn't a big deal.

I agree - follow your doctor's instructions to the letter! Stock up on approved menu items and meds (GasX strips) at home. Get a good night's sleep the night before surgery. And one last suggestion, my throat was KILLING me when I awoke from surgery!!! If I could do it over I would be sure to have some throat lozenges and chap stick on hand.

Take care - prayers are being sent up for you!! :tongue:
