toomuchrose 47 Posted May 5, 2014 I haven't had my surgery yet, but the doctor's office gave me a handbook with recommendations of what to have on hand: a thermometer so you can see if you have an unusual temp whatever Vitamins are recommended dressings for your incision, tape, gauze and of course the broth, popscicles, Jello etc. on your Clear liquids list. Also, have your laundry and grocery shopping done beforehand because you aren't allowed to lift anything over ten pounds. Several people here have said to have GasX disolvable strips, too.
