Surgery

Hi, All,

I am scheduled for a bilateral orchiectomy in July. Does anyone have any advice as to what I should do or not do?

I can recomend a few things for the weeks before surgery. lay off salt asprin and caffeene, eat more protein, and most important of all get lots of sleep.

Thanks for the info. The aspirin will be easy as I don't use it anyway, but the coffee will be a bit difficult as it IS the nectar of the Gods! Beef .. it will be for dinner. I will just have to tell the boss I need to sleep at work!

I wouldn't worry too much about the coffee but I would lay off the asprin for 2 weeks before and after the oper. Actually if you heal well 1 week after is probably ok. Check with your med. adivisor. I do very strongly advise you to keep very clean and get out of whatever med facility you use as soon as possible. The urgent thing is to avoid methicillin resist. Staph.
