How did you?

Hi everyone... Newbie here... Waiting for approval from Aetna and if all goes well I will have mine done in January. I am preparing to buy things like: pill cutter/smasher, vitamins, heating pad, etc... I want to make sure when I come home I have everything I need to keep me comfortable. Wondering what you guys bought and how did you prepare?

Thanks bunches....

No problem! If you ever need any research done I can handle it :D I was not satisfied with there being "no" liquid tylenol for adults. I finally found it at CVS and it's even yummy.

No' date=' but you see CVS carries their own brand of adult extra strength liquid tylenol. I can find ANYTHING :D[/quote']

Lol I'm the same way! My 12 year daughter will not take pills to save her life and the kid strength medicine was just not cutting it so I searched and searched for some adult Tylenol! The only place I've found it was cvs. You would think more places would carry it!

I wasn't very prepared as I had about 24 notice to get ready. I had g2, presciriptions, 1ounce cups, and heating back. Most stuff I already had on hand. I ended up needing a pill cutter. Things will work out smoothly if even your not super prepared. I like to be prepared and planned out, but didn't have much time and things went surprisingly smooth!!!

Best of luck on preparation!! You'll so great !! :)

Sannah, how long ago did you have your surgery? How was it when you first got home? I know you didn't have much time to prepare... But if you did have time, what would you have done?? ow much weight have you lost? Also how is the pain? Yes....I know everyone is different but I want to hear from everyone lol!

Becky, (btw, my name is Rebecca lol) I only see the generic tyneloyn on amazon.com, that should be ok I think...
