Gas-X and Pepcid My little devil after surgery was the heartburn. It hurt right at the breast bone and made me nauseous. Had to sleep propped up like I was in a recliner. They'll give you some Pepcid before you leave, but you might ask for it sooner. Also consider a belly band or other supportive underwear for after. I found myself walking and holding my stomach because every little jiggle was uncomfortable, and my tummy was swollen. Aside from all that, You'll do great! Are you going by yourself?
