3 days~!!

I have my 1st round of plastics on Wednesday the 6th and I'm nervous, I am having a panniculectomy..any last minute advice for preparing for this? I have bought and started the stool softeners like I've heard on here many times, I bought safety pins to pin up my drains, Extra pillows for the bed. Just got to prepare some easy cook meals for the family for the few days following my surgery..Any idea what to wear to the hospital the morning of that would be comfortable to wear for the drive home? ...t anymore advice would be so appreciated.

Congrats!

I wore what I planned to wear home - so something baggy.

Make sure your resting place is set up before you leave too so that when you come home, it's ready.

What are you taking for stool softeners?  How early did you start taking them?

Dr. N told me he'd give me stool softners and I just assumed I'd take them after??

Good luck with your surgery!!

Docusate Sodium 100 mg, 2 a day, All I've read and was told at my preop is to take them ahead of time, because it takes a few days to start working.
I plan on having the recliner ready and anything I need within reach, Have pillows for the bed when I can go there, meds all filled, think I'm ready but I feel like im missing something. I plan on wearing some sorta trackpants or yoga pants and a zip up hoodie..hopefully that will be ok..

Gett yourself some kind of kitchen timer that has hours, not just minutes.  I had one to wake me up during the night to take my pain meds - best thing you can do for yourself so you don't wake up hurting like hell in the morning. 

Have a side table to put your drinks, books, remote, etc on so its within easy reach. 

Wear baggy sweats that do not have a tight band on the stomach. 

Are you getting a panni or a full TT?

Great idea for the timer.  I'm going to set my second alarm on my alarm clock to wake me up for the first couple days!

I am planning on having a panni but said depending on my hernia, she may have to repair that and muscle damage from that, Im hoping just the panni lol..
Table beside my recliner, good idea! My husband took from the day of my surgery until the following tuesday off so that will be a big help.
