Finally Done With All My Pre-Op & Insurance & Doctor Requirements...I Have A Concern & Question Though ?...My Lap-Band Surgery Date Is Set For June 2, 2014..Out-Patient At OSF Hospital Here In Rockford, Illinois...Dr. Shayani Surgeon..{Has Anyone Ever Had This Surgeon?..}..Anyway, Upon My Ultra-Sound Of My Abdomen They Decovered IThe Pain That I Frequently Been Having On My Right Side Is Because I Have Gall-Stones & Really Need My Gall-Bladder Removed..I Talked To The Surgeon About This Issue & He Is Confident That He Can & Has Removed Gall-Bladders During The Lap-Band Procedure Also..I Also Have Been Told By My Gastrologist Doctor That He Would Like Me To Have A Liver Biopsy, Because They Found Hep C. & Would Rather Wait Till After My La-Band Surgery & I have Lost Some Weight To Start Me On Those Meds To Help Try & Deal With That Problem..And If Those Things Are Not Enough, Now I Have A Bad Jaw & Tooth-Ache, It Comes & Goes, Depending On What I Eat, So I Been Only Eating Soft Foods Now..I Went To My Dentist & He Has Now Told Me That I Have A Bad Infection In My Right MOLAR Tooth & The One Next To That One Has A Cavity..He Wants To Start Me On Antibiotics ASAP. & Then Either Pull The Tooth Or Do A Root Canal On It...YIKERS!...I Told The Dentist About My Up-Coming Lap-Band Surgery & He Said, That Yes, Maybe We Should Then Go Ahead Before My Lap-Band & Get It Dealt With..OK...Well, The Problem Is The Antibiotic That He Put Me On, Was VERY STRONG & Caused SEVERE HeartBurn, It Was Burning My Esopahgus Out It Seemed..I Can't Take Pennicillin, Because Of Alergic Reaction To It, So They Have To Find Other Infection Meds. Now, The 2nd Perscription He Wrote Is Not As Bad, But Also, Is Gonna Restict What I Take Like My Other Meds. For Arthritis & Pain All & This Also Creates Some HeartBurn..I Just Don't Know If I Should Get This Tooth Dealt With Now Or After My Surgery?..Also, Is The Gall-Bladder Removal & The LIVER Biopsy Gonna Put Me In Even MORE Pain After The Lap-Band Surgery Than Normal..?...I Hate Pain!..What Advice Can You All, Anyone That May Have Had Similar Issues Give Me?..I Have Called My Lap-Band Surgeon This Morning & Am Waiting To Hear Back Now, What He Thinks About The Tooth & The Antibiotics Before Or After My Surgery?...I Would Love To Have Some PEACE About This...I have Waited A Long Time To Get This Lap-Band & I Really Want It To Work For Me The Best It Can, I Do Not Want To Hurt The Process ANY..What Should I Do?...Any Advice Out There For Me?...Thanks & God Bless!..And God Luck On Your Own Stories & Lap-Band & Surgery Lives...Mrs. Debi..
