I'm having my 10cc lap band removed Oct 9 and then if everything goes as planned, 10 weeks later I'll have RNY. My surgeon told me that my band removal healing experience will be similar to my experience when I had the band placed six years ago. Any helpful post op tips? How long were you guys off work? I have scheduled one week off work and one week strictly working from home (which means a lap top in my lap and answer phone calls/ emails). My job is some desk work but mostly driving and making home visits to elderly clients' homes. Did anyone find the removal healing process easier than the insertion? Thanks
