Hello everyone, so my surgery is tomorrow. They said I need to be in the hospital around 11 and my surgery should take place around 12:45. I am going to be so thirsty! No food or water allowed after midnight tonight. Anyway, I am super excited and nervous all rolled into one feeling. If anyone has any pointers or suggestions for the day of surgery please let me know. Thank you!!????❗️????

Good luck tomorrow. I know what you mean about being thirsty. I was told to be at the hospital at 10:00. They did not take me back to surgery until around 1:30. I was glad they did let me have some ice chips that evening but the nausea was so bad that I didn't even want to eat them. I hope things go smooth keep us posted. Chap stick or some sort of lip balm is a good idea.

Thank you! I will make sure to add that to my bag.

I'm a week behind you but I am sending good wishes, prayers and hopes for a great 'new' birthday! Good luck ????

Good luck!

Good Luck with Everything keeps us posted.

walk as soon as you can it will help with the gas pain!!

You'll be going in about the time I hope to be in surgery. The thirst thing is going to bother me too. I get one small sip with a required medicine in the morning. I'll savor that I guess! Here's to being on the other side soon!

I just had my surgery on Friday thankfully I was the first one at 7am but rubbing an ice cube on your lips should help you with the thirst along with taking water just to wet your mouth.
