Guest guest Posted October 9, 2000 Report Share Posted October 9, 2000 Best wishes , Joyce!!! TRUDY Meds Well, I picked up my medicines pre-op medicines today and I just want you all to know that I just can't wait to drink that wonderful MOM! Just the thought makes me kringe. But hey, that is " tiny " price to pay for the end results. Did I say that right? My surgery is next Monday and I don't want to eat too much on Sunday. Everyone says that it is better to eat light so that you don't have too much to have to get rid of. Any suggestions for the " Last Supper " ?

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2000 Report Share Posted October 10, 2000 Dear Joyce, Dr. R told me that soup and salad was a good choice for the night before surgery. I ended up only having soup because a few of us went out together, and agreed that was the best thing for our surgery, so we wouldn't have any problem with our intestines being distended, so he would bypass the right amount. That may or may not be correct, but we didn't want to take any chances. That night was the last time I experienced hunger for over a month. I know everything will go just fine on Monday. Remember Dr Rutledge is a great surgeon and he will do his very best for you on Monday.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2000 Report Share Posted October 17, 2000 , There are more than two. You can print the list directly from the web site or you can e.mail Barbara and ask her to call in your prescriptions - that is what I did. She also calls in the postop meds then too! However, do yourself a favor and ask your PCP about samples of particularly Levaquin (only one tablet needed) and Prevacid 30 mg (only one tablet needed). The postop Prevacid is only 15 mg. Also, you need one Reglan tablet which they may have also. on MGB 10/04/00 Preop 275 10/10/00 269 > Hello everyone.

It's a narcolepsy drug, but it is also used off label to boost antidepressants when there is sleepiness with the depression. It has worked well for me. Stopped the need for afternoon naps.
