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 !

I had gastric bypass, not LapBand, but they gave me liquid Lortab for pain. That stuff works GREAT. I miss it.
