Silly Question..... Showering and wound care
kookaburra64 replied to sarahbellzz14-4's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
hi, i was banded on may 19th. and have showered twice so far. my doc said to wash the sights VERY gently with soap and a new facecloth. if your dressings are sticking and difficult to remove try having a shower and letting them soak and then gently remove them. also my post op instructions for the steristrips are to leave them for ten days, so try not to pull them off. did you get any written instructions from you doc??? hope this helps. sandi -
hi, so it has been a few days for you. how are you doing. can't wait to join you on the other side. only 11 more days. i can barely contain myselt lol. take care, sandi

Going to Mexico and Nervous about Swine Flu...
kookaburra64 replied to SheSheMama's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi, i am concerned with going to tj may 18th for surgery. but i think if i take precautions: good handwashing, having hand sanitizer close by, wearing a mask on the plane (don't laugh at me, it works), and having tamiflu or relenza on hand. i am also going to bring my own dolac and tylenol #3's so i don't have to go the pharmacy to pick a prescription. hopefully by being vigilant none of us will end up being typhoid mary of the swine version lol good luck all:smile2::drool::smile2: -

Anyone heading to OCC-Mexico in May?
kookaburra64 replied to rachieroo's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
that is a good idea. get some drugs before you leave. things like tylenol #3 are crushable and would prob work better for post op discomfor. also my patient coord. said Dr.Kuri would give me a prescription for ketorolac (dolac) as well to get filled in tj the night before the surgery. hope this is helpful. sandi -
