Tomorrow Is The Big Day!



Recommended Posts

Boy, time sure did fly! I submitted to insurance on 1/18 and was approved 1/20. Surgery is tomorrow at 9:15am! I have to stay the night because my doctor requires it, so what did you guys pack to make the time go faster? books? Cards? Computer? Any advice on what to expect right before and right after surgery? I'm so excited!

I took my kindle and my cell. But I didn't stay over night. Once I got to pre-op, everything was in fast forward and I didn't get to use either one. Good luck tomorrow!

I don't have to stay overnight, but just for the few hours I am going to be there I plan to take my Ipod and cell phone. I'm sure we will be doing more sleeping that anything!! Best of luck to you!

I stayed overnight and really just slept a lot! Didnt so much as turn on the tv or mess around on my phone more than just to tell everyone I was alright. Between naps I was being poked and prodded...took a couple strolls in the hall, and that was all the time I had really. I guess everyone is different but time flew and I would've had zero interest surfing on my laptop.

Good luck! I was outpatient and went home a few hours after surgery. Do what your doctor says and do take it easy the first few days. Take your pain pills! Follow your eating rules. Expect the gas....many people get it in their chest/shoulder. Gas X strips are great and you can easily take them after surgery. Stock up on your Clear Liquids for your first few days. Let your family wait on you! biggrin.png

I did not take anything... LOL... left pillow in car for ride home so seat belt did not push on stomach.

I walked as much as I could and asked questions. What I did not do and should have was ask for pain meds before it got to bad. So stay ahead of your pain. and make sure you sip your Water and walk as much as you can. (it helps with the gas).

Best of luck

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
