Surgery is Thursday!!

Hi, everyone...my surgery is Thursday!!! I can't believe how fast time has flown by. My liquid diet is harder than I ever thought it would be but that's ok, I know it will be worth it. My last day of work was Friday so tomorrow and Tuesday I'll be running errands and cleaning up the house. Wednesday I have my bowel prep then Im leaving for the hospital around 3:45am to be there by 6am. What to pack???? Any last minute advice or suggestions??? Im really excied and getting kind of nervous!!!!! My time is almost here

Hi Jamie! Wow....yep almost here! You'll do great! The only things I can suggest you taking with you to the hospital is chapstick of some kind and a pillow for your car ride home. You'll need it to press against your belly when the car hits bumps and such. I took a book but never even looked at it. Oh, also have sweats to go home in and slip-on shoes. You don't want to even attempt to bend over and clothes that come on and off easily are the best. Take care and your seat on the Loser's Bench is warm and waiting!!!!! ~Heather

Jamie I wish you a speedy surgery and uneventful recovery. Your nerves are perfectly normal. They will give you the good stuff when you get there so dont worry. Let us know how you are as soon as you feel up to post. We will be thinking of you

You're alomost there at your spot on the Losing Side!!!! Bring comfy and you will be fine.

Jamie, Best wishes for an uneventful surgery and a very speedy recovery! The one 'important' thing to bring to the hospital (other than comfy clothes to wear home) is a chapstick/lip balm. I also took my shampoo and conditioner for when I could shower before I came home, but that was about all I used in the whole bag that I packed! Hugs, Mo

Hi Jaime, I want to wish you all the best in your upcoming surgery. Wishing you an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. I can't wait to hear how great everything went for you. Best wishes Cira
