Where Are My Bandsters For June 11Th

[miswoo 23]

Where did you have it done? I'm at Beth Israel in Boston' date='MA. I guess all drs are different. I'm not too impressed with the hospital at this moment, they asked me to bring my cpap machine and here it is 10:30 and respiratory hasn't even hooked it up yet.

I am a respiratory therapist and just wondering if you needing a cpap machine is why they are keeping you overnight. Most all places do an outpatient surgery if its laprascopic. I would think you would be at higher risk, I also can't imagine are being blown into at this point (just had mine today). Unfortunately the air goes to your lungs with cpap but some will always inadvertanly go to your belly, yikes!

I also have some problems with the adhesive they stuck over the steri-strips. On my right side i took off the bandages yesterday and my skin has blisters on it. I have been coating it with triple antibiotic ointment. But everywhere else looks good. My strips are still on. I am working on getting all this sticky stuff on my stomach off. They used a antibiotic scrub on my skin before surgery and it is really sticky. My pain is much better today and hopefully better tomorrow. How is everyone esle feeling? I had my surgery in Minnesota.

After I had my surgery the nurse told me.to remove the steri strip tape after 5 days or it would cause a reaction on the skin. Hope this helps ladies take that tape off!

I had my surgery on Monday, steri strips are still on. They told me they would fall off on their own. I'm feeling pretty good, going to try to get through the day without pain meds.

They told me to leave them on and they would fall off on their own in 7-10 days. I still have alot of gas pains today. I am hoping to get out if the house today and get some hydrocortizone cream and gas-ex to see if those work.

Hope everyone is doing well after Monday. I wish i could get rid of these gas pains in my back. I guess walking is the answer since they don't bother me when I am up.
