Topic: RE: freaking out
 Hi,
My doctor has me taking Prilosec, which I just buy the Wagreens generic, and it isn't too bad price-wise.  I bet I can find it cheaper generic at Wal-Mart, I just haven't looked.

I'm scheduled to report to the hospital at 6:45AM, so I assume it will be a morning procedure.

I'm with you on the feelings... I'm having a whirlwind of them right now, but I'm definitely not 2nd guessing my decision.

May God bless you Pam... see you on the other side!

Topic: RE: What drugs are you taking?
Isn't it weird how doctors are so different? Ny doc says pills ok if they are no bigger than a pencil eraser. But, I think that I am going to start crushing them and take with food just to be safe. I no longer have the constipation problem   . In fact  it started going the other way now. But thank you so much for the info. Have a wonderful day!~ Annette

Hey .. I am on Monday as well !!!
Are you scheduled in the morning or afternoon?
I am in the afternoon.
I am excited and nervous at the same time.

I can't believe it is here already!

Topic: RE: What drugs are you taking?
My doctor says absolutely NO pills of any size before six weeks unless they are made to be chewable or can be crushed into food.  You probably should check with your Doc on the constipation.  My guess is they will recommend something like Maalox or Milk of Magnesia.
