Hi everyone,

Sorry to hijack your thread, but I am from the Quad Cities, and I was wondering if you know of any docs up there that provide fills to other doctors patients? I was banded in Colorado, not Mexico. Thanks!

Here is my post-op 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 pants 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)

Some doctors allow cream soups within a few days, make sure you have a good wire strainer.

*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.
