Ok, I'm getting really nervous now
Hi Everyone,
I know its pretty typical but my surgery is tomorrow morning and now I am finally starting to freak out...lol. I was doing pretty good until today. I have to be at the hospital at 7am tomorrow and wow it really hit me today, this is happening! I hope I can hold it together tomorrow. I have never been in the hospital before. But I need to toughen up and get through it!
What should I wear when I check in? I am getting a bag together and wondered about that.
Well thank you everyone for all the great support and advice, it has helped me so much!! I cant wait to tell everyone how good I'm doing later! lol

Marlo,
I had my surgery 2 weeks ago yesterday and I also waited and waited for the panic to set in, and guess what - it NEVER did. I was a cool operator the whole time. (they even commented how low my heart rate was in pre-op at 48) I just got myself in the "zone" So my biggest advice would be, don't think about the panic and when it will set in because it is possible for it never to show up
I wore a simple pull over black linen sun dress and flip flops. And it's also the same outfit I left the hospital in.
Remember no makeup, nail polish (fingers or toes) hair products or jewelry.
Best of luck and we'll see you at the loser's table.

Hi Marlo,
I had my surgery almost two ago as well. I stayed very calm too.
I wore a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. I did not take my bra with me.
Stay cakm and do what the nurses tell you to do!!!
When I got home I felt great. I did need a nap each day but I did not have to take pain meds after I came home. Today i didn't even need to take a nap!
Good Luck and keep us posted.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
