Well im going tomorrow to get my surgery in hurst :clap2: and was wondering if anyone had any last minute items to take with me to surgery to make it more comfortable.

I am taking carmex for the parchness

an insulated cup for ice for the ride home

a pillow for the seat belt

my TEDDY BEAR for comfort:bounce:

loose fitting clothes with a button down shirt

Has anyone had nausea after surgery I live about 2 hours from surgery location and I would hate to be pulling over every 10 minutes on the side of the road:faint:that would be bad.

Thanks for your :help:

Cavegirl -

I had my surgery yesterday! I was at the surgery center at 6 a.m. and back at my home by 10:30 a.m. You might want to pack some non-skid slippers because they will have you up walking.

I had just a touch of nausea when I woke up - I told them about it and they gave me something right away.

Good luck and know that we are wishing you well!

how exciting !!!!!!!!!!! well i live i hour from my hospital and i was worried about the ride home so i ended up taking some of my liq. pain med. the doc perscribed before i left for the drive home it was the best idea for me i was also worried about the bumps in the road so i ended up just falling asleep because of the meds. hope this helps:angry

WEIRD SORRY FOR THE MAD FACE

thank you so much for the info. I just want tomorrow to be finished so I can carry on, this liquid thing is about to kill me it will be nice when 1/4 to 1/2 cup of liquid will fill me up

I live about 2 hours from where I had my surgery too. Just ask them to give you plenty of pain meds before you leave. Tell them how far you live. They hooked me up with meds and I was feeling good on the ride home. The hospital called in my scripts so my husband could just pick them up quickly. Good luck. saying a prayer for you.

well I made it back home all went well except for the gas pains "ouch" but hopefully it goes away quick thank you for the prayers it helped alot

That is awesome cavegirl! Did you take anything for gas?

mia,

Yes I tried the gas x strips, but they did not help me really at all. It was getting pretty bad with the pain. My husband went and got Maalox, mixed berry- dont get strawberry "YUCK"

and within 30 - 45 minutes I was getting rid of the gas and the pain subsided. Heating pad, maalox alot, and walking.

Hope this helps it did me im 2 days out from surgery and I am almost back to normal.

I second the request to have them give you something for pain before you leave. I too live about 2 hours from the hospital and I don't remember the ride home at all because I was in La La land...
