Even though I have had many surgeries in the past, I always freak out a bit before I go in. If you are anxious in pre-op, just tell one of the nurses and usually the doctor orders an as needed med to relax you a bit and take the edge off in case you need it. This surgery is a breeze and will be over before you even know it. Make sure you have your heating pad out for when you get home (helps with gas pain in the tummy)! I would also take a small pillow to hold on your tummy when you get out of bed or cough, sneeze, etc.... The most important advice I was glad to have known it to walk, walk and more walking. My hospital had me get up off the recovery gurney and walk to the wheelchair that they took me to my room in ( I had to stay one night). From that point, they couldn't keep me down and it really helped with the gas pain. Good luck to you on your new and healthy journey. You will be fine!! :)

      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.
