  18. Does anyone have a little list of things you are checking off before surgery? Mine looks something like this: -Catch up on laundry -Grocery shopping -Deep clean the house -Pedicure -Spend some time with my family - Pack hospital bag What about you? Vets? Anything you wish you would have done before surgery?
  19. Had my surgery class last night! It was very informative. I found out I'll be using a feeding tube (g-tube) the first four weeks to help me get in my fluids and protein. I'll have a Blake drain for the first two weeks and I have to drink one blue powerade every day and if I see the blue in the Blake drain then Houston, we have a problem. Anyone else heard of this? I've never seen any thing about a g-tube on here.
