Just hurt my back

[ackovach]

Hi,

I am scheduled for lap band surgery on 8/1. But today, July 6, I really hurt my lower back while picking up my 2 year old. I am going to chiropractor in the morning. Does this have an impact on my surgery date? Will I be able to take any pain medications for my back after I get the lapband?

Better give Dr. Ortiz a call. There are some drugs that you cannot be on prior to surgery. Not sure what they are though.
