- Pain is managed with prescribed medications, and ice packs can be applied over the cast.
- Follow-up X-rays are scheduled to ensure the bones remain in correct alignment.

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....
Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
