Lap band newbie

G,day Folks
I have just left hospital after having a lapband installed. Its a prettty wierd feeling having it all in there. But i know it will get better. I do have a few questions to ask any of you that have had it done. Firstly i am sooo bloated from the surgery. I was wondering how long it took people to get over the swelling after surgery.

Also, not being able to swallow pills what options did you use for pain management. So far i have been using big doses of kids liquid pain killers. But to honest i can now see why the poor little buggers screw their faces up when i give to them . The stuff we have here is vial !!!

Thanks folks !
