1 week pre-op
1st turn all your worries over to the Lord and let them go! Take a good pillow with you incase you need one for the ride home and they don't give you one. You will be extremely tender on the left side. Don't take alot with you. You won't feel like reading or such. Do take a comfy robe. Remember if you have a night gown you will have an iv for a while to keep you hydrated and pain free so you will have to have one that buttons over the shoulder, hence just a robe to walk the halls in. For alot of woman for some reason and it happened to me, expect your period to start while your in there. be prepare Take some pads and easy to get on pantees. Why!!! becasue it will hurt to bend over and it may hurt to even wipe your hinny depending on your stomach and swelling. Yep someone may have to help you. Modestly is out the window now LOL. After surgery it is so important to make yourself get up and walk and walk. It helps relieve alot of the pain from gas and keeps the blood flowing and helps prevent clots. Let someone know if you are having any leg pain or cramping. Do not buy alot of slim fast drinks you won't get much down the first few weeks. Honestly you will be surprised if you do a six pack in a week. And it will taste too sweet after surgery. Try not to worry you will be fine!
