I am sorry but can someone tell me where to find the thread on what you need to buy prior to surgery? I am trying to find it for a friend and can not for the life of me find it. I tried the advance search and everything...I just saw the darn thing yesterday when I wasnt looking for it. Thanks

This may be what you are looking for. Wish your friend good luck.

Thanks...this was just what I was looking for. Not sure how I missed it :biggrin:

Many of the items on that list are really not necessary... If anything .. I would say the gas-x, sugar free popsicles, broths are the most important things to have. Everything else isn't necessary.

That looks like my list also, but I live in town and close to the store so if i needed more, it was easy enough to get.

Liquid Tylenol is a must have...I didn't find the need for the prescription pain relief. But there a lot of good suggestions on the list depending on your situation.
