Finally have my date (January 19) and am seeing my surgeon on tuesday to go over consents and take care of last minute questions.

Obvious ones:

when can I go back to work (I work nights as an RN, am figuring I'll be out for a month due to weight restrictions)

when can I travel again (parents are 300 miles away and worried sick about me doing this, want me to come down to see them if the surgeon will clear me for it).

Post-op nausea management (I really really hate throwing up)

"when to call 911"

Not so obvious ones:

Migraine management post-op (have occassional migraines and currently I take imitrex and naproxen for them - naproxen is obviously out, worried that imitrex would be a problem too).

Any other suggestions? Am excited and terrified at the same time, and I figure that's only going to get worse between now and the 19th.

I'm not really worried about the "when can I eat ______ again" - if there's one thing I've gleaned from this message board is that everyone is different.

What is pain management like afterwards?

Will I wake up with a binder on my stomach?

What about constipation issues afterwards?

How is nausea during and after surgery handled?

What is the typical length of stay?

Can I have printouts of the post op diet and subsequent stages so I can go shopping now?

Hope this helps
