Newbie here! Three days before surgery!

I can't stress moisturizer and chap stick! I was so dry and itchy after surgery. I also brought my phone and charger as well as a backup battery so that I didn't have to worry about where the outlets were and slippers.

Congratulations and good luck tomorrow!!!

I wanted to give you my two cents... When in the hospital try and walk as much as you can and sip, sip sip. Don't be a hero if you feel pain or nausea speak up.

For the ride home make sure you wear lose comfortable clothing and time your pain medicine so you can take it before you get in the car to go home it will make the ride home a little more enjoyable. My house is 1.5 hours from the hospital and Vermont roads in March are bumpy from frost heaves so I was glad the nurse at the hospital gave me a pillow to take with me. So that helped as well.

Keep drinking though I did not and learned that lesson the hard way as I got dehydrated...So please sip sip sip....

You are going to do great!!! Can't wait to hear how you are doing....
