Dont Stress! You will be fine.... Also Congrats on your surgery tomorrow....  Remember to get up and walk walk walk so that gas will go away!

There really isn't much to be nervous about, in my opinion.  Just make sure you stick to liquids for as long post-op as YOUR SURGEON (not other posters) recommends.  And start walking ASAP!

Hey Jenn! Good luck tomorrow, I had mine today and the surgery went well I was in by 830 and done by 1030 and home by 3. Dont worry you;ll be fine, i was nervous and cried a lil when i said bye to my parents. but def if you need something afterwards ask! if u feel sick ask for a lil medicine and drink slowly and just relax and take your time walking and getting in and out of bed.Oh and wicked weird suggestion go pee before surgery bc i had to and didnt so when i went after it was a little difficult. haha

Gas X strips that melt in your mouth to ease pain.  And no risk of getting stuck
