I have the same surgery date. Hope all goes well with you! I will share my list and see if it helps you gather your list together.
I am ready. Have a variety of clear liquids, full liquids, pureed, and soft foods. I have a food scale, one ounce to 4 ounce containers, a cup that forces you to sip, small baby spoons, blender and quick juicer for protein shakes, variety of protein drinks and powders, water jug to measure water for the day, Knox jello (which I will make this week), sugar free splenda popsicles, heating pad, ice packs, gas-x strips, chewable vitamins and supplements, chewable laxative, PPI pill and chewable, actigall to start at 2 weeks out, zofran sublingual and my migraine medicine is changed to nasal. I will make sure my house is clean and in order. I have stocked up on pet food so I do not have to carry 52 pound bags of dog food. I have arranged for transportation back and forth to airport and care for pets while I am away at hospital. I will pack my bag next week with loose fitting clothes, toiletries, tablet, walking shoes, pillow for neck, eye shield to help sleep in hospital, and ear plugs for the noise in hospital. I have the apps for documenting food and water on my phone and after I charge my tablet I will place it on that too.

Hi everyone,
I have a date, it's coming fast. :-)
It looks like only a few of us have April surgeries that are posting.
I still need to get a list together of what to need at home after the surgery, any ideas?
Wishing you all a safe surgery and a speedy recovery! May God have his hand on us through this surgery and while we heal.
Cheers,
Stephanie

My surgery was scheduled for march 26th but my doctor has military obligations and several of his surgeries, mine included had to be rescheduled. I hope my tests being done already dont need redone. My new date is april 10th
