That is awesome that you have done so great on your pre op diet! I know what you mean about anxiety. I had half a day of pre op testing today and it kind of ramped up my anxiety, as well. Hang in there...it will all be worth it!!

For after surgery you will want a heating pad or bean bag to help release the co2 they put in your belly cavity. You want gas x, stool softener or milk of magnesia. Pain meds stop you up pretty badly. Liquid Tylenol for the pain, because after a few days you will be glad to get off the nauseating pain meds. Liquid versions of any meds you take (optional), something to hug and press against your belly for when you need to cough or get up and down. Those are my best suggestions!

I am scheduled for april 9! Just started the pre op diet and starving!!!!
