Did anyone use a weighted blanket after surgery? Also, what things did you buy for yourself for your recovery. I’m stocking up on Blu-ray, dvds and books. In case I watch all the streaming! Haha

No weighted blanket. However, I did stock up on books on the assumption that I'd have plenty of time to catch up on my reading. As it turned out, I was too tired to focus on reading for very long. I mostly watched TV and napped constantly, which meant I couldn't really follow what was happening!

This was also me. For the first couple days, I was extremely tired and could not focus on anything for very long. I slept most of the time. After about a week, I could stay up for a while but would require a nap. I mostly watched TV and slept.

I slept so much the first few days... I don't really remember much of it

A heating pad really helps when you have all that gas inside postop. So get one if you don't have one. Also, get a really good body lotion. Your skin will be really dry. I bought some essential oils and diffuser. Found eucalyptus, lemon grass and peppermint quite soothing.
