I Am Getting My Lapband From Dr. Carter The 24th Of July. So What Did You Think Of It All.

So far so good. I wasn't ready for all of the pain in the shoulder and the back that comes from the drugs of surgery. That is what hurt the most for me. The surgery part was the easy part. The only other problem that I had was with the tape they used around the incisions. I was allergic I guess and had hives around them. Finally went to my PC doc and had to get steriod shot as well as oral and cream to take care of the issue. Dr. Carter had never seen anything like that. People at the hospital were great. I had my surgery on a Tuesday and was back at work on Monday. I could have gone on Friday, but decided to stay home.:nervous I look forward to hearing from you and maybe seeing you at the support meetings. I do wish that they would change it to a different time of the month. The last week is always so busy for me. Take care and GOOD LUCK:clap2:
