So Tuesday is the day of my surgery (((: I'm all smiles! Can anyone give me suggestions on what to take to the hospital with me? I have to stay over night so I'm going to take my stuff to crochet! Lol but thats the end of my list !!!!

Chapstick

Hi Susancae! You must be getting excited! My surgery is 2 weeks ago and it cannot get here fast enough. Yahoo!

I received a little list of things to bring with me to the surgery, and have also learned about a few other things that might work for you, too:

• Wear comfy, loose-fitting clothes to the clinic on the day of surgery
• Wear flat shoes (no laces)
• Bring slippers, warm socks, a change of undies and a housecoat
• Bring a pillow for the car to put across your tummy - this will help relieve the pressure of the seatbelt
• iPod

Hope this helps...!

:-)

Tyvm (: I am happy happy happy lol I can't even express how happy I am

Congratulations Susancae and good luck to you. I am 7 days post-surgery and I 100% concur with amponder that you must take some chapstick!!

Good luck for Tuesday..

Lol oh its def on the list lol ive read that a few times now (:

Since you can't eat or drink after midnight the day before your surgery I had a LOT of Water before I went to bed. As much as I could stand. This saved me from being dehydrated and super parched in the morning. I was thirsty, but not as bad as I would have been. I also brought cough drops to the hospital, they help get the saliva going when you can only take little sips after surgery.

At home I had a heating pad on deck, and liquid Tylenol.

Good luck!

Lol my surgery is at 3pm. Ugh. Like seriously haha. But yeah I am not lookong forward to not having water.
