I think I'm ready, but wanted to run through supplies/hospital list once more. Is there anything else I might want or need for week 1 and the hospital?

Hospital: chapstick, face wash/lotion, deodorant, toothbrush/toothpaste, extra underwear, tampon/pad (just in case), slippers, robe, magazines

Week 1: crystal light, broths, decaf tea, popsicles, Isopure(a requirement from my doctor), Jello, vit C/zinc, GasX strips, pain med/elixer, prevacid

I am half nervous and half excited......OK reallly excited!

Some suggest a heating pad to help with gas discomfort. I took a pillow from home because quite frankly hospital pillows suck the life out of me.

Congrats on your upcoming date, and keep us posted.

Good luck! My thoughts and prayers are with you for a succesful surgery and speedy recovery!

I took a small pillow to protect my wounds from the seatbelt on the way home from the hospital.

I also found my Ipod really soothing when I couldn't sleep I had loaded an audio book I just love being read to sleep.

Good luck with the surgery keep us posted.
