Instructions

Feb 26, 2010

I received my surgery information.  My preadmissions testing is April 20th @ 2:00pm.  The Surgery is April 27 @ 8:00am.  My post-op appointment is May 4th @ 2:20pm.  My instructions include a liquid diet 2 weeks prior to surgery to shrink the liver.  I have to stop my birthcontrol one month prior to surgery and start it back one month after surgery.  No ibuprofen products 7 days prior to surgery, but I can take Tylenol.  Nothing to eat or drink after midnight before the surgery, including water. These instructions aren't difficult at all.  I can do this.  I don't understand the birthcontrol thing, but I will ask if I'm allowed to use something over the counter?  There are a list of drugs that must be dicontinued if applicable, but I don't take anything on the list so I'm good with that.
