Hi

It's been 4 years since my surgery, but here's what I remember:

eat a light dinner, like a salad or some chicken or fruit. Nothing but water

after 10pm. Some say apple juice is okay. I don't think there's really

anything else you need to do. My doc said to shave my pubic hair down an inch or

two

from the top, where they make the incision for the lap. He figured I'd be more

comfortable doing that myself.

I think that was pretty much it. Try calling them again. I think it's hard to

get a call back on Friday.

Good luck tomorrow, and keep in mind that it will be over soon and is sooo

worth it!

Don't eat after midnight. The surgery is easy as far as they go. You will be

up and running the next day with some slight bleeding. You should have had a

pre-opt apt to ask questions because you will be under anesthesia. I would

call and get all of your answers. You may want DH to listen in the call. I

know I get so stressed that I cannot process what is being told to me. Good

Luck. - Liz
