A lot of the tips you need will come from your surgeon and the nurses. But, I will say this... You will probably have gas pains (you will feel them in your back, neck, and/or shoulder. If the Hydrocodone doesn't take the edge off while you're in the hospital, then request dilaudid. It will help. Good luck!

My surgery is September 26 too!! ???? I obviously can't give you any tips about the actual surgery, but my surgery was rescheduled twice because of low Iron so if you have any questions about the preadmission testing and stuff like that let me know!
