Hi everyone! I'm having my surgery Oct 12th. My pre op appt is Oct 2nd. What are some important questions I need to ask. I'm preparing my list, but I just want to be sure I don't forget anything. So far I want to ask:
- will I need blood thinner injections post op?
-what is the Myers cocktail ( 2 weeks of Vitamins and hydration for healing) is this an option?
- can I bring Gas X strips and use them post op?
- will I have a drain post op?
- will I have a catheter?
What questions did you all ask for your final appt?
Thanks
