Hey Folks!

It's time for you to lose a little more weight to make room for me on the looser's bench!  Tomorrow's my big day - I'm both excited & nervous needless to say!

I've gotten a "stomach" pillow, chapstick, lotion, a small fan, a short sleeve robe & matching gown, back-scratcher, a new book.  'Figured I'd wear sweats so I can just throw them back on when I leave.  I think I've got the "liquid diet" stuff covered for when I come home.  I read that a sippy-cup helps so I got a couple of the ... gonna be "cute" seeing a 50 year old using one of them huh?! lol

Anything I need to know to prepare myself?  Any tips/suggestions?
Thanks!
Libby

I only have one tip...get up and walk.  And, keep bugging them until you get to walk.  OR, have the person who's going with you to figure out how to unhook everything so you can walk yourself.  I tell you what, that really helped with the gas pains.  That, and the Gas-x strips...you might want to get some of those.  Good luck!

Thanks Kelly & HUGE congrats to you!
How ya feeling?

Good Luck!!! We'll be thinking about you!!!!

Good Luck....wishing you a speedy recovery!!!

Sounds like you are pretty well covered!   Good Luck!

Libby,

Congratulations on your surgery.  I would make sure that I had a pair of houseshoes that you can slip on easily and have non-slip soles.  And maybe a puzzle book with some mechanical pencils.  It was so busy that I couldn't concentrate on a book after surgery but I worked a few puzzles.
