Your surgeon should've already told you if you'd be expected to stay overnight. What did he say?

Maybe I should rephrase that. . . .Are there non typical things that will make my night and travel home more comfortable.

Aside of my own toothbrush, comfy clothes etc.

Got it! I probably misread...hunger is making me faint (almost dinner time here LOL)

A pillow to brace your surgical sites on ride home

lip gloss or balm because your lips will be really dry

easy slip on shoes (you'll be up walking A LOT)

A comfortable bra, easy on shirt (some like button up but over the head worked fine for me) and pants/skirt

liquid tylenol for at home (not the hosp)

Mp3 player

good book or some magazines

hair brush

If you wear contacts they'll make you remove them before surgery even if they are the kind you can wear for a week (or whatever) and then discard...just be warned

most of this you probably already know

good luck!

I bet you are VERY excited! :)

I'm an emotional freight train!!

Excited, nervous, scared, and all the WHAT IF's are running through my mind!!

You'll do great! Just think ahead to a year from now; how different things will be:)

Best of luck to you! Let us know how your doing.

:)

Good Luck CarrieLynn!! This time tomorrow you will be well on your way to a brand new life!! Believe in yourself!!! You can do this.

Thank you to everybody!!

I just am afraid that I'll be the one that looses 20# in a year. . . the one that nobody will ever notice. Or it will take a year to hit my sweet spot!

I'm just starting to freak out. I had a nightmare last night that I woke up from surgery two times bigger than I am now!

Good luck tomorrow!
