Post-Op (in the US) prep
Dr Almanza sends you home with antibiotics and pain killers. From what I could tell, the pain killers were weak but I didn't have a lot of pain anyway so I never used them. You might want to have your pcp take out your stitches but a lot of people do it themselves. I had my pcp remove mine. I'd also ask her about some kind of acid blocker/reducer or you can get something over the counter. It's helped me a lot.
Thanks for the advice. Did you go in 10 days after surgery for her to take out the stitches? I have an appointment set up with her but because she'll be out of town on the 10th day of my post-op, my appointment is 7 days out instead but I figured I would change it if I absolutely cannot do it that early. I just wanted to know I had something set up in case I needed/wanted to see her.
