Good luck on your surgery tomorrow. I was NPO after Midnight the night before my surgery and was allowed liquids only the day before until midnight. I had to drink milk of magnesia at noon the day before! it was no fun but I made it and you will too! I had surgery at 9am and was home by 3pm and only because it took me a while to wake up enough to go home. I was very pleased with my care at the hospital and recovered in my opinion very quickly and easy! I hope you do too!
Be Blessed!

Everything went well! I did try to pop out of bed as soon as I came out from the anaesthesia- lol, which is what I do every time I am startled awake with 2 little ones and 2 mischevious border collies- but the nurses were able to hold me down until I came to my senses. I'm back at home, trying to walk around a wee bit, and my hubsters is making sure I follow the doctor's directions.
The pain- has been around a 4 or less. I had a few minutes where I felt nauseous- but they gave me a med for that. I am wearing my 'bella band' that I had from my last pregnancy that makes me feel less jiggly- it is very light compression. (hope this isn't tmi) but I was going to wear like the squeem underwear, but seems like with the painkillers I could fall over and hurt myself wrestling those on and off.
So that's it, I better get back in bed or my handler will hassle me. Thanks for the prayers, you all have a fantastic day!
