Hey Banders-

I remember seeing this check-list a few months ago and I didn't print it out, does anyone have that great list for items to have on hand to help you recovery more comfortable? Thanks in advance, Daye.

Hi lettice5;

here is the post-op link:

hope this helps.

I cant seem to pull this sit up.

How about going to the FAQ forum and accessing it from there:

lab-band shopping list

heating pad

flexible ice pack

liquid tylenol (they make adult strength)

chewable or liquid gas-x

a few books or movies

comfy clothes (loose waisted shorts or jumpers)

squishy pillow for car ride (guard against seatbelt)

a sports bra (doc said no underwire for a few days)

protien shakes

flavored water

make sure you have a good blender

I bought a drink mixer for the protien mix (cost $10 at walmart)

broth or stuff to make broth

sugarfree popsicles and jello

sugar free gum (ask your doctor)

sugar free breathmints (ask your doctor)

*Ask at your pre-op for the pain med prescription so you can have it all ready to go when you get home, our walgreens has to order liquid pain meds and it takes 3 days to get them.

I wish I had found this forum before my surgery. You are all such a big help. I am truly grateful that i at least found it soon after!!!!

Thanks, everyone for your infromation I am sure it will be a real blessing to me during my recovery. I was just told that my date was changed to May 2, 2007. I know it just one day but I just cant wait to have this step completed and on with my new life. Please keep me in your prays on that day.

can't say enough about those Listerine strips
