Surgery Date

[Guest guest]

Wow I went and saw my surgeon on Friday 10.14.05 thinking I was going

to get my date. Of course I have to wait and talk to the scheduler.

I was told there are two other people in front of me waiting on a

date. When I asked when they thought I might get in it was a little

discouraging. They said November's schedule was full. December was

iffy because they don't do surgery right around Christmas so it will

probably be in January. I guess that's not too bad but I'm so ready

to get this done and start a new life.

Well when I did see the doctor he gave me so many perscription I was

surprised. These were all so much of a surprise can any one tell me

if they've been put on any of these and how they did with them.

Lovenox- this is a shot you give your self in the stomach. It's a

blood thinner that you have to take the day before surgery then

continue after for a while.

Metronidazole- Fours days before surgery kills and prevents bacteria

infections

Neomycin- Four days before sugery to prevent bacterial infection

Nystatin- antifungal Antibiotic

Hibiclens- It's a topical antiseptic skin cleaner you wash with for 3

to 4 days before surgery

Then one more thing in the Fleet Prep kit. Has anyone ever had to do

this? I haven't picked it up yet but just wondering if this is a

liquid you take by mouth, pills you take or something you have to

insert in your rectum???

If anyone can shed any light on there surgery and happenings I'd

appreciate it. If you want to email me personally you can at
