I’m 23 yrs post-op. Take your cellphone charger to the hospital, as well as slippers, if you don’t like the grippy socks the hospital provided. Some people take chapstick.

You should be able to return to work in about a week to ten days,

At home, you may prefer to sleep in a recliner those first few nights. Your tastes tend to change with the surgery. Some people say that protein drinks they lived pre-op, don’t taste as good post-op. So I would have more than one brand of protein powder or shakes on hand. My favorite brands are Fairlife and Premier.

Best wishes to you!
