Hello all! I am Jazz.

I have been viewing this website for 3 years now and am finally a few days away from my surgery date. It has been a long road for me to get here. I am very excited!!

Last year i saw the most awesome list of things you have to have when you get home from your surgery.

I am having trouble finding that list. Can anyone help direct me to a great list of things you just have to have??

Thank you sooo much and I am looking forward to a great future!!

Go to the search tab on the forums and put in 'Shopping list' it will bring up a few different threads and then you can find the one you are looking for. I did that a few days ago and read throught them to make my list of supplies before I go in. Good luck,

Just don't bother with the Gas-X unless you have problems with intestinal gas. It seems like everybody and their brother on here recomends it, but it does nothing to gas pumped into your abdominal cavity during surgery. (There is no way to access Gas-X in your stomach from your abdominal cavity.)
