    The incisions all look good! The only one that even hurts is where the drain was, and that was just taken out yesterday morning. :-)

    How exciting! And your welcome! I did bring the gas x strips, and I've only used them twice. They'd rather u get the gas out then use the strips tho. With all the gas u have, I'm not sure if they help or not. The gas pains haven't completely gone away yet, so it's hard to tell. I'm
    Sure they help though. As for recommendations, are u bringing a support person?

    I've been researching for almost a year. I have 3 different friends that have gone to Dr. Almanza and have had great results. I've read all the good and all the bad about him. When it comes down to it, you can get an infection from ANY surgery regardless of where you have it. My personal friends said everything was super clean and professional and they felt like they were in a big hospital. It doesn't really matter if it's a big hospital or a small clinic, the procedure is the same. Thanks for the advice, but I've definitely done the research :-) Wish me luck!
