If you can attend any of the local support groups they are a great help. There is one on Mon. Feb.15th in the basement of Innovis Hospital at 6pm. I get so much help and support from them. I didn't do much to prepare and things went good for me. Just make sure you have liquids at home for after you are home. Sugar Free jello, broth, whey isolate protein powder, sugar free pudding, sugar free popsicles, skim milk, light yogurt. Good luck. Tammi

Jessica, I just had surgery with Dr. Smith on Oct. 22nd. Dr. Smith and his staff are great. The room I was in was huge, so if you do have people that want to visit, there is plenty of room. I was really tired after the surgery, so other than my walking, I pretty much slept. I've been attending the monthly meetings on Mon. night at Innovis in Fargo and have found them so helpful. I didn't bring much to the hospital. Bringing your slippers will be nice because I did spend a lot of time walking the halls. Good luck to you, I hope everything goes smoothly. Tammi

Topic: RE: Exercise
I need to get much better about exercising. I've been doing some eliptical, walking and weights, but not close to enough. I'm trying to motivate myself but so far I'm not doing a great job. Tammi

Good luck with surgery. Be sure to bring your slippers and chap stick.
Are you talking about the support group in Moorhead on that Tuesday? Is so it isn't on the 24th, but on the 16th (1st and 3rd Tuesdays at the Moorhead Clinic from 10-11). We also have a support group on the 3rd Monday of the month at Innovis from 6-7:30. It is in the lower level. I know that there are other groups in the F-M area also. Hopefully others will post those times and places.
Best of luck and you will do great.

Hey everyone!
I am a 28 year old female who's having surgery on February 18th with Dr. Smith in Park Rapids. Does anyone have any suggestions for preparing for the big day? The only time I've ever been in the hospital is when I had my son, and always had company! I'm so nervous and even though I've been researching for 3 months, I feel like i know nothing!
Any words of advice?
Oh and I plan on attending the meetings, but hopefully I'll feel good enough to get out that Tuesday after surgery!
Thanks again and I look forward to hearing from anyone!
