LSH: Pre-op appt today

I just got back from my pre-op appt. It went rather well & now the waiting for the day at the castle. I will be having a LSH/BSO. I need to be at the hospital by 6:15 am & will have 1 overnight stay (2 or more if needed). As for the bowel prep, I was told to take 4 Dulcolax & Mirolax mixed in 32 oz of Gatorade then another 4 Dulcolax. I guess it sounds better then drinking some of that other nasty stuff. I asked about HRT as I haven't fully decided for or against yet. I was told it is recommended due to my age (34) & that if I choose HRT it will be in patch form.

So, now that my surgery is getting close I need to get lots together as well as get my house ready for Thanksgiving dinner with both families. I have gotten a head start on some of the baking & my step-mother-in-law is bringing the turkey so nothing too bad. I should be able to have most prepared beforehand & just heat 'n serve. Then I plan to get some resting & organizing done over the weekend & finally off to the castle!

Ironranger,
It sounds like you are prepared for Thanksgiving...that is great! My husband and mom are taking care of details this year. My husband however is a good cook so no worries there.
My bowel prep was an enema the morning of so that was great for me. I tried to eat light the day before because I didn't want to deal with constipation afterwards.
I had LAVH/BSO so I was placed on Vivelle dot .1 and at 44 yrs of age, I can tell you that the hot flashes are something else. Not painful of course, just catches you totally off guard. I keep all ceiling fans on and pull covers over me for warmth, then kick them all off when it hits. I also prefer a gown because I find that it is cooler.
Wishing you all the best on your surgery!
