Really, it varies from Dr. to Dr., from anesthesiologist to anesthesiologist.  Some teams may prescribe steroids, others not, some nausea patches, some not, some sublingual Zofran, some not, some Percocet, some Vicodin.  I would first choose your surgeon based on your rapport with him or her, and his or her skills and reputation.  Then, focus on the smaller details like the medications etc.Best of luck!

Thanks much for reaching out. Antibiotics are typically given before the first incision is made. I don't typically send my patients home on anabiotic's and a narcotic painkiller. I also put them on a blood thinner for two weeks to decrease the chance of blood clots.

I usually give patients some pain meds, antibiotics, and anti-nausea meds. I have them a also take some vitamins.  You are best to ask your doc because each one may have a different protocol.
