My surgery is tomorrow morning and I am ready. Are there any tips or advice that you can give me for the first two weeks to help my life be a little easier?

When they take you back to your room after surgery, don't get into the bed unless you physically can't sit up. Have them prop you up in a chair or loveseat, whatever is handy in your room. Being upright and moving as much as possible will help you recover faster and get rid of the gas pains sooner. When I was in the hospital I stayed out of the hospital bed completely except for sleeping at night. I even napped sitting up on the couch. If you have a rocker or glider in your room, sit in that and rock. That will also help get rid of the gas pains.

Good luck!

Bring an extension cord to the hospital so that you can charge your electronics even if the plug isn't handy.

just show up. they really do the rest.

How long you in for? I was only there little over 24 hours...between getting poked and walking and napping you dont have time for much lol ...good luck!

Only in overnight unless there are any problems. What do you guys suggest I have ready at home?

I second the extension cord for your phone, and for home have broth and protein shakes ready to go so that you don't have a lot of hassle. Good luck!
