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 !

welcome to the site!! my niece had it done (lap band) and it was a good month before swelling went away completely. liquid painkillers was her vice, but not kiddie levels. the real deal.
