I learned about this site I last October and have been stalking it ever since. I had planned to go to DR for my TT but after learning about this wonderful surgeon close to me I felt blessed to be able to stay in the U.S. I'm lookimg forward to the support of my RS family as I embark on this first leg of my journey. Extended TT this time and then back next year. I'm both nervous and excited.

Hi veyonce
The thing I found help me the most was a bottle of water with a spout on then you don't have to sit up to drink.
We all know after a op we get a dry throat and the last thing you want to do if you can help it is cough, I kept my bottle of water so near to me and it came in handy so much Evan the nursing staff laught at me I wouldn't go to the loo without it if I felt like coughing I just drank water it worked a treat. Take some stool softener a day before and at leat for a week or two after if you tend to get constipated at all this helps I was dreading a bowel movement but had no trouble at all.
Some wet wipes to just freshen up. If you can and they will get the nursing staff to give you a good wash and your hair, the staff were great to me they put me in a plastic wheel chair turned me backwards and wash my hair it felt lovely.
Any way all best and I hope this helps trust me the water bottle was no 1 take care

Received My Pre Op Packet From Dr. Cochran Office Today
After a weekend at the beach I returned today to find my preop packet in the mail. Lots of useful info. I'm not very pain tolerant but I'm too excited about the expected results to put a lot of weight on that. Hoping for helpful tips from my RS support group to help me prepare for this experience.

Congrats! I'm looking to schedule a consult with Dr. Cochran. I lost 109 lbs but have gained about 50 lbs back from my lowest weight. I'm looking to have sx in December, so that gives me time to get my but back in gear!
