Ok thanks! I saw someone at some point recommending for nausea also, wasn't sure what it really did.

What are all of the issues/symptoms that the papaya enzymes help with?

The info I was given is that it is a diuretic and we need to get and keep so much more fluid in, ESP newly post op.

Is everyone doing a chewable post op or can we take a non-chewable?

I had my EGD today...they found ulcers but said it will not push back surgery. Got meds for that. Also did EKG, labs and gallbladder ultrasound today as well. They said EKG was fine, don't know about labs but hopefully all will be ok for surgery march 5.

Regarding EGD...I was told to have someone drive me home but I just looked at my paperwork that they gave me. It says no driving for 24 hrs after! That would mean an extra day off work. Is that true, you couldn't drive even the next morning? My test is scheduled for noon.

I am one of the fortunate ones that is not required to do pre-op diet but the temptation to eat everything in sight before surgery has been really bad. I am getting concerned about making poor choices and possibly throwing my labs out of wack. I worry about everything and am concerned about them finding something on bloodwork that will set my surgery date back. Anyone else worried about preop tests? I also have EKG next week and never have had one before so I have no idea if that is normal either. I don't have a history of any problems but again, I worry! I want to get the surgery over and be on the losers bench ASAP!

Can you add me to your group? I am scheduled for march 5...thanks!
