Today I had to go to Lubbock, TX which is about 1 1/2 hours away to do my follow up and get my staples removed. Dr. Buschman said it all looked good and to come back in 5 weeks for another follow up and to get my first fill. Fill means they will inject saline into a port that is attached to my muscle wall through my skin to inflate the lap band around the top of my stomach. This makes the hole smaller so that food sits in the pouch longer causing me to be able to eat less.
They put butterfly strips on the 5 incisions and sent me on my way.
