Getting close...questions?

So tomorrow is my last appointment with my surgeon before surgery and I would like to make sure I have everything answered and all the important questions addressed. But what to ask? I suppose I'd like to know how I am going to look appearance wise post-op - the final outcome. I'd also like to know a little bit more about the genioplasty procedure I am having. My biggest concern is being wired shut for two weeks. What happens if I get sick and have to vomit? Could I choke on it? I know in the hospital I'll have nothing to come up, but what about when I've been home and eating for a few days? What happens when you have the urge to yawn or sneeze? What if I have a panic attack because I feel like I cannot breathe?

Another big concern is nerve damage and numbness - so I've begun taking Vitamin B12. I plan to sleep as elevated as possible for as long as I can and utilize the ice packs as much as possible. The combination of being cooped up in my room and limited breathing gives me claustrophobia. I'm wondering for those of you who have had the surgery, how long was it before you were able to get up, go outside and go for a walk? I think this will be my saving grace, throw on a headscarf and take a walk outside, get some fresh air.

As the big day approaches, I've been getting more and more nervous! I feel like I'm having so much operated on compared to most people with both jaws and genioplasty. Hopefully I'll put some of those nerves to rest after my appointment tomorrow. Till then!

Brainstorming...

So here I am..less than six weeks away and I feel like I should probably start preparing myself with the many necessary items I will need post-op. I'm trying not to wait till the very last minute to go out and try to buy everything in one shopping trip. I've been adding to a list as I think of more and more things I'll need. Here's what I've come up with so far...please feel free to add or suggest anything else you think is necessary or helpful. Thanks!

Here's what I already have
- Zip N Squeeze bags (have 1 package, need more?)
- Juicer
- Blender
- Humidifier

Here's what I need to buy
- Saline nose drops
- Reading pillow (for sleeping/resting at a 90 degree angle)
- Dry erase board
- Ice packs
- Styrofoam cups
- Sippy cups
- Baby toothbrushes
