What'd you take with you on sx day?

We get a lot of post op care posts for at home/daily life, but I'm curious what you brought, or wish you brought, with you on surgery day, if anything?

Bonus question: how long did they keep you after surgery before letting you go home? Few hours, until a specific milestone (like using the bathroom by yourself)? I know most are released the same day, but I'm wondering how long that can be.

Increased Appetite & Insomnia help?

I started on 0.75mg LDN about five days ago - I was prescribed 1.5 but I decided to half it at first in a dilution of distilled water. I take it in the morning.

I think I've gotten like..15 hours of sleep this whole time. It's slowly getting somewhat better, but I figure when I increase the dose it's going to get worse again. I already take magnesium and that doesn't help at all, melatonin doesn't do anything for me. Are there any tricks or tips to get more sleep, or am I just going to be running on Extreme Battery Saver for awhile?

Also, my appetite is being absurd. Like right after I eat, I want something to eat. Doesn't matter what kind of food I eat, heavy meals vs light snacks, I just want more food. Does this eventually go away? Because I can't afford to gain more weight, clothes are expensive..
