A heating pad will be your bf post op for the gas pains. My heating pad helped the gas pains so much, and was a comfort. I sucked on hard candy post op (ask your surgeon if it's okay mine said it was), it helped with the dry mouth, and wanting to taste something ... a book to read, a notebook for journalling. a camera( took pictures of friends made during experience in mexico).

Thanks so much.........

No, hard candy it is full of sugar! I brushed my teeth the next day after surgery. Bring some of the dry mouth spray if you think you need it, I brought some but did not use it. Lots of changes of clothes I underpacked and would have liked a few more outfits, a jacket for the evening it gets cool. when you are at the Marriot, ask for a pillow top bed as the ones without are hard as a rock.

Thanks Amazon13........

They don't provide wash cloths, so if you use them bring them! also baby wipes came in handy..

Yeah I second the heating pad. It did me wonders. I took gas x too but I didnt use it since the gas that you will have is surgical gas and not regular gas..... I took my own broth that you can reconstitute... I didnt like the hotel broth too much.
