Oh the advice of another OH'er, I took a small square pillow with me - 12 inches I think.  I held it to my left side when getting up and down and it really helped.

When the anesthesiologist talks to you ask if you can have a anti-nausea patch behind your ear. My surgery was Monday and I asked for one & didn't have the first feeling of nausea.

Do something nice for yourself! I got a great pedi and every nurse had to see my toes, even the men!

Do bring a pillow to hold onto on your ride home. Ice chips and the pain pump button are your friends. Good luck! Let us know how it went.
