    I was not told to stop taking Oxycodone. I have been taking Tramadol and hope that is okay?Also, the clinic notes state that he discussed the possibility of incarceration/strangulation. He did not tell me what I need to watch for and do if that happens.

    Dr Vargo came highly recommended. He explained everything in great detail, and answered all my questions, even the dumb ones. I feel like he didn't judge me or my situation.
