last mintue advice
Make sure you have your vitamins, shakes, blender, and other items ready for when you get home. Don't bother packing much for the hospital. I was so doped up I didn't use anything. Walk at the hospital as much as you can and when you get home, remember to walk and sip frequently. Do pack something stretchy to wear home so it's not tight across your incisions. Other than that, take a few deeps breaths and try to relax. Everything will be great. I'm 8 days post-op and I feel pretty good. I haven't taken any pain meds in 3 days. It was nowhere near as bad as I expected. Good luck!!!!
