Dr Christopher Reilly, TR in Houston, TX
lilacroses replied to Q3Carla721's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Hi Lady vs, it turns out that I did receive very good post surgery instructions. I found them when I was going thru the bag sent home with us. My husband had taken them out and laid them aside, and mail was placed on top of them. Ugh, he didn't remember seeing them. I'm glad I found them. It made me feel much better, lol... -
I'm in Houston. I had Dr. Reilly-true results. I also receive meds delivered to my home. But I was asked if I wanted them. I get an anti-scarring cream for my incisions, a scar erase cream for old stretch marks, a numbing cream to use when I go for adjustments, and a liquid vitamin. I also take a Centrum silver chewable and the biotin for hair and nails. In every delivery, there is documentation from the pharmacy with specifics on the meds, what they are and how to use them, as well as a contact number for questions. I also receive periodic calls from them to check on me and make sure any questions I have are answered.

Looking for a bander
lilacroses replied to sylvia45's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded Aug 28. Every day gets better. Most of the pain from gas and surgery have dissipated. I do have the cravings and get hungry. Mostly I have terrible itching around my incisions, but on the inside where they said they put stitches. I've tried to feel my port, and I don't feel it, but I'm not pushing hard at all. I don't want to cause any damage. -
Hi all, I'm on day 8 and the area around my incisions is itching terribly. Is that because it's healing? It's driving me nuts, lol...

Where's everyone from?

I'm 3 days postop lapband. The pain from my incisions is getting better but I hurt after I swallow and feel like there is air that needs to come up. Is that normal? Is there anything I can do to alleviate that? I'm using gasx. Drinking a lot.

Hi Roger, I don't have any regrets. I was nervous too. I'm still sore from the surgery and I do get a bit hungry. I look forward to my first adjustment in 3 weeks. Hopefully we will hit the green zone within 1 or 2 adjustments. I won't lie, I know I'm going to miss eating my favorite foods, but it will all be worth it in the end. -

I was also lucky enough to get Dr. Reilly. He and his staff were so caring. I was banded just a few days ago, on August 28th. Having sharp pains on my left side. Is that gas? I don't have any instruction on how to care for my incisions. I have 5. Can you share with me what you did? Thanks!
