I really dont know that answer but from my experience I had my surgry on a Thursday out of the hospital on Friday and out yard sale hopping on Saturday. I didnt lift anything for about a week basicly walked everyday. I eel that as long as you arent to tired then walk. I had no pain after about 2 weeks.
I was banded on April 30, 2009. My doctor and his incredible nursing staff were very good. They told you what to expect and let you ask any question no matter how supid you thought it was. I would go and havr this done again.
