Good luck with your surgery ESL,

Everyone has given you such good advie. I will add a small one to the list. Buy Tegaderm patches from 3M. The big ones or ask for some from the hospital. They are wonderfully waterproof patches that allow you to bathe. I was able to take a shower the next day and not a bit of water got on the surgical site. Easy to get on and off too. I used them for 2 weeks and they were great.

Best of luck and I will keep you in my prayers.
