Surgery on MAY 31 anyone else?

Hey everyone. I have a date finally after waiting for two years. Anyone have this date? What should I take to the hospital? What should I buy for when I return home? I am so excited I could pee my pants!!! Carrie

Congrats Carrie........long time coming. My date is May 30th, very close to your date. Keep me posted post op. Stacy

For sure and I wish you the best of luck also! Carrie

Hi Stacy, My surgery date is scheduled the same day as yours. I just wanted to wish you the best of luck and i'll hear from you on the losing side....

Hi Stacy, How are you doing? It will be 2 weeks tomorrow and i have lost a 30 pounds, i cant hardly believe it. How did your surgery go? Mine went great as far as surgery goes, not much pain at all, i am already back at work. i am ready to see the rest of me lost do you know what i mean. Prayers are with you!!!!

Me! I just posted my introduction also. I am checking into the hospital on the 30th and will have my surgery at 7:30am on the 31st. I am excited too but scared of the pain. Can't be much worse than 26 hours of labor without drugs right?

Carrie....Congrats! I am also on 31May! WOOT! I am bringing: Jammies x's 2 Chapstick DVD player w/ headphones CD player '' flip flops to walk halls water bottle that's it. Good luck to you. Hugs! Shele

Me too, and the bag is partly packed. Everybody says we should take our own toothbursh/paste and chapstick of some kind. Slippers for the "bari shuffle down the hall and a pillow for there and comfort on the way home. I'm taking shower needs and baby wipes and my cell phone/charger a notebook and pen, and a phone number list. I know we are only scheduled in for a few days but if there are complications, I want to be ready for a longer stay. But I got a list from the nice folks at St Mary Mercy, along with detailed information about supplies I will need. I hope your doctor's office provided you with that! And I've been stocking up on various protein drinks for months. And jello and soups and teas and boullion and, and, and ..... Now, if we are limited to lifting only five pounds, how will I bring this bag home??

I am scheduled for the 31st, since I am second up, I am staying home the night before and arriving in at 730 am. I have only recently started thinking about a bag. book, music, portable computer and cell phone. I teased the nurse I was going to order pizza to be delivered since they said ice chips the first day ;) hope to chat with everyone more through the coming days

Hi, good luck with your surgery on the 31st. I also have mine that day. I'm bringing a robe, slippers, nightgowns, chapstick, toiletries, loose outfit to wear home, cell phone and charger, a novel, crosswords, sudoku. ( I don't know if I'll be able to do any reading or brain work because the anesthesia makes me feel fuzzy for a few days)I need to remember to put a pillow in hubby's car for the ride home. I've stocked up on a few things for home. SF FF jello, SF popsicles, clear broth soups,crystal light, carnation instant breakfast. I bought protein powder sample packs and have tried them already. I found a few I like but everyone says I might not like them after surgery so I haven't gone crazy buying big containers. I'm excited, nervous, anxious.... Paula
