My surgery is scheduled 4/8. I'm excited but, also super nervous [emoji27]. What are you guys packing for the hospital? Are ya'll stocking up on liquids (broth and protein shakes etc.) now?

My surgery is at 730 am- I’m due in at 5:30. You can talk to me about things message me!
I’m glad to be going in the morning, best time of day for surgery. It’s going to be hard falling asleep tonight.

i miss food so much - I keep dreaming of the fattiest things like cheese fondue, pizza, fajitas! But I know that’s my body in starvation mode trying to convince me to eat for survival.

looking forward to the next steps!!

Good Luck!

Morning all,

Today is my surgery day. Just got dressed in my super cute surgery gown, lol. So far, feeling calm. Not nervous actually. But hungry! First time. But, it's due to my own issue. I was so focused on drinking extra Water that I forgot to drink my last Protein Shake. Nurses getting me ready are great.

Good luck!! You’ll do great. I’m in my gown too. I’ll “see” you on the other side!

Good luck. Sending positive thougjts. Hey maybe if you're extra sweet to the nurses they'll let you keep that fashionable nightgown from surgery?

Sorry about that! Yes, I'm suppose to have a seperate pre-op appointment with the hospital. No one has contacted me yet though. I was just wondering if anyone else is still waiting to do their pre-op appt at the hospital and what it might consist of?

Mine was over the phone with a nurse. They basically went over what to do or not do before surgery. No solid food after midnight day before surgery, I was prescribed an anti nausea medication to take 3 hours before surgery with 2 extra strength Tylenol and Gatorade and to not have anything at all after 2 hours prior to surgery. They told me where to go to check in, etc. and basically gave me the run down of what to expect. They're sure I knew what surgery I was having and that I had support at home. All I'm all it was more informative than anything. Best of luck!

Wish you a fast and east recovery.
