Pre Op

This is a terrific idea. The only one I know at this time is obviously NSAID's such as ibuprofen.

I take Celebrex which is an NSAID, but I was told I can still take it post-op. But NOT Ibuprofen, Mobic or Naproxyn

That's good to know that there is at least 1 NSAID that can be taken!

Even tho it can be taken, it should be taken for a short amount of time. The more you take it the bigger the risk of comlications with it.

I vote for Reglan (an anti nausea med). I got a really bad reaction to it about 6 days post op and had to go to the ER. The ER dr said it was notorious for that reaction.
