Surgery in 9 days!

SO......I am having my surgery in just days now. Is there any last minute advice that anyone has? Things to expect that most people dont think of to tell someone before surgery. I am really excited and pretty nervous. How long do most people stay in the hospital?

Im still insurance approval three ring circus phase... but good luck to you. :)

Yea!  Great News!  I just stayed overnight.  The best advice I got was walk, walk, walk.  Even just through where you live.  It helps with the gas, which for most, but not all, rules your life for 3 to 14 days.  2nd best advice is IF your pain isn't bad, skip the perscription pain meds, and use OTC pain stuff.(But be careful)  A nurse told me when you are put to sleep, your gut also goes to sleep, and has a hard time waking up with pain meds=more gas.  It worked for me.  Also some people like a tummy (or incision) pillow for the ride home.  Good Luck!
