Surgery in the morning

Hospital called told me to be there by 8:25

Am packing my bag now.

Not taking much.

Very nervous and scared but will be ok.

Was in your shoes 1 week ago tonight. Just do what they say, follow all the directions and you will do well. I feel pretty damn good. I had no nausea or severe pain in hospital. Had ice packs for top of stomach area and left shoulder. I think they helped. Use the pain meds they offer you when you are able to have them so you get lots of good rest. I catruthfully say I have not felt hungry all week. Hopefully your doctor has you using protein shakes after. A friend of mine was sent home on just fluids with no protein. He couldn't understand why he was feeling hungry. I am sooooo happy I did this!

Yep the plan is to start two Protein shakes per day as soon as I get home from hospital.

I have a great doc for sure

Just waiting on hubby to pack his bag for the wait and off we will go

Good luck!!! I was where you are 7 weeks ago! I've had some tough moments since then, but overall, very happy with my decision.

Sitting in pre op and about to get my IV

Good luck JersRose! I hope everything goes exceptionally well for you! I hope you have a painless and easy recovery.

Everything went fantastic so far. See my other post
