Got my Ruby Slippers...

[Heft_Bandit 1]

So I'm back from my visit with the Wizard.

Dr. Audencio Alanis - Audencio Alanis M.D. - Bariatric Surgeon, Weight Loss Surgery, LapBand Surgery, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio

He the great. The hospital was great. I'm feeling ok. Each day the pain is less and less. The only thing I can't do right now is bend over freely.

I got 4 cuts on my stomach. One right under my left breast. The other 3 almost in a line across my stomach.

I have pictures of me pre and post op here...Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum - Heft_Bandit's Album: Heft Bandit

I had a revelation while reading the boards last night...I can take my pain meds when ever I like. So since then, my pain level has been pretty low.

In addition to the pain meds my dr order me some Carafate and Pepcide Complete. The Carafate seems to be like pepto or something. So I don't have any issues right now. (knock on wood).

Gonna call a Dermo tomorrow and hopefully get an appointment. I have keloid skin and really don't want the scars to get out of control.
