Well it's 12:30am here in North Carolina which means I only have 1 day till my surgery. It has been hell, I've cheated, but I'm ready!!! My surgery is at 7:30am so everyone say a prayer for me and I'll pray for you all. I have a heating pad, otc nausea meds (liquid), mederma, otc ibuprofen (liquid), shakes, ice pops, jello....anything i'm missing?

I will pray for you and it sounds like you are prepared. Keep me posted on your recovery. My surgery is on the 27th.

Congratulations! My surgery is on the 14th, the nurse suggested we all bring gas-x strips with us to the hospital. They go on your tongue and melt to help with the after surgery gas.
