You may want to ask. Nothing like getting to surgery only to find out is canceled because someone forgot something. It almost happened to me. I had to scramble at the last minute.

I am 9 days post op. I guess I was getting too confident. I did it all day long. Dinner was the worst. I will really be paying attention tomorrow.I ate egg whites way too fast. It's stuck in my throat. This is no fun !Happy birthday and you look great!!Yeah thanks for asking. The numbing of my thighs still happens but bit as much. Maybe by Monday I will feel totally better.I just had surgery on Monday.You may not go as long but my surgery was delayed for several hours and it was 24 hours before I had my leak test which was my first drink. It may differ elsewhere. They gave me some lemon flavored moistened sticks to suck on. But my mouth was extremely dry and it was terrible. I'd look around for a product like that.Is this normal and will it subside soon?Chapstick, FYI super hydrate before you go in. You may go 24 without sipping on anything, that means ice chips either. Have something to suck on to produce saliva.Once I was approved I told everyone it happened to come up with. My co workers would have noticed me gone for a month (yes I took a month off) and would have just called and asked if I was okay anyone. Enough people know that I don't need to explain repeatedly anymore. Who cares who knows. The weight loss will be obvious.No pain pump. I've done a little research on the Internet and have seen it could be my sciatic nerve. Hoping it goes away over the weekend.I'm feeling better by the day. I am having a weird numbing sensation in my thighs.I'm going to get up and walk some more after the pain meds calm down thanks for all the encouragement. It was a rough night sleep.Thanks shrinking. I have been sleeping basically sitting up so the gas goes up and out. So far so good. But this is rough.Tell me things get easier. I haven't been able to sleep, everything aches...someone encourage me.Your doing better than me. I'm having a ton of nausea. I may go home tomorrow or Thursday.On my way to the hospital!!Mine is 8:45.
