The principle of flashing is to reheat room temperature or slightly warm food in a very hot oven for a short period of time. This enables food to reach its desired temperature while preventing further cooking. Foods can be flashed from 425 to 475 degrees F, anywhere from 2-10 minutes.
Post-operative care. After completion of surgery, the patient is transferred to the post anesthesia care unit and closely monitored. When the patient is judged to have recovered from the anesthesia, he/she is either transferred to a surgical ward elsewhere in the hospital or discharged home.
Return to work after lap band surgery is reasonable after one week but may be as soon as three days post op. I think a lot depends on the patient and what type of work the patient does. We dont want to go back to work too soon and potentially cause a wound infection so one must be carefull of that.
