9/15 Surgery Buddy

Hello everyone I'm in deep need for friends/buddies for support, encouragement, and accountability. It would be nice to have someone that is going through it with me to compare but it doesn't matter.

    @@Monica K I start the preop diet Thursday 10/20, I have my preop appt at the hospital on 10/27 and then surgery on my 11/3. I will ask at the preop appt what to bring. I'm a member of a support group on Facebook and a couple of things I keep hearing to bring is chapstick, pillow for ride home, phone charger, heating pad, toothbrush. Other than that I don't think we need much.

    Can anyone tell me how to put something out there lol meaning the only thing on this site I can figure out is how to reply, how do I ask questions, if someone wouldn't mind helping

    I haven't figured that out yet myself. It's very confusing.

    Overboard is very dangerous. Right. Now since I'm still 60 days out I'm trying to read everything I can and trying to get my mind right. I look forward to more post on your journey.
