Surgery tomorrow!
I had my surgery Tuesday. My recommendation is WAlK, WALK, WALK...and when you don't feel like it, do it anyways. Also, when you can have clear liquids before release, letting them come to room temperature. That really helped. Also, don't be a hero...take the pain meds when they offer them. they won't make all the pain go entirely away but it will take the edge off so it is tolerable. Good luck and I wish you all the best.
Good-Luck tomorrow,hope all goes well and you have a speedy recovery !!!!
