I just finished my last Protein drink for a while. My surgery is Wednesday, and I am supposed to be on Clear liquids all day tomorrow. Today I got very nervous. I was trying to do what I can before the surgery, but my chronic pain issues force me to stop and sit frequently. I've been mostly excited until today. Today, I remember the pain after abdominal surgeries of the past. I am having an open revision. Any suggestions for things I should take to the hospital, or what I should have at home for afterward.

I would only take things I really need like my toiletries , perhaps a journal to write, cell phone with charger and only one outfit. You do not want all a lot of stuff because you won't use it . Wear there gown because it's easier for them to work with you, you can wear another gown as a robe because remember you will have Iv and a Iv pole that you will be toting around when you walk . I am so excited for you and remember in a few short weeks you will be feeling and looking great . Congrats on you being healthy in regards to home just make sure you have your protein shakes and your going to do fine keep us posted you got this .

Good luck!

Anything that make you comfortable, soft plush clothing ect...good luck!!!
