Since my surgery was more recent I have all my notes still;

Drains: Empty drains at least every 6 hours and more often as needed for the first 24 hours. After this empty the drains when they become half full. Do not expect the drainage to be equal on both sides; that is rare.

and

I did get a list of things to stop taking 2 weeks prior to surgery; aspirin, alka seltzer,BC powder, ecotrin,excendrin x-strength,backache reliever, analgesic caplets and 1 week prior advil,aleve,motrin,ibuprofen,nuprin and other products to avoid that increase bleeding; alcohol,anaprox,darvon,dristan,ginger,garlic,green tea, ginko biloba,ginseng,sine-aid are the most common.
