Make sure you follow all of the pre surgery rules given by your surgeon. If you have a friend or family member, ask them to go with you... Bring something loose to wear home after the surgery. I also bring a few teddies with me - but I guess I'll never grow up. I had to stay the night - and luckily i had a private room (guessing my surgeon is a GYN oncologist) and my mom was around to help.

I had my first & I Hope last surgery last week. For hospital-Peppermint tea, flannel & favourite shower gel, throat sweets, baggy nightie were all helpful. Started getting out of bed (with help) the same day - getting moving when it’s safe to do so is really important (just a hobble to the toilet.) ask for anti nausea medication after surgery if you feel really sick. I felt sick the evening after surgery & within 30 min felt 100% better after anti sickness injection. one week on and I’ve been walking more each day, napping lots and I feel pretty well 😊 Sending you best wishes for Wednesday.

I've had many surgeries, not for this problem of course at least not yet. Only thing I can suggest is that you get something for nausea (just in case).
