I was banded Aug 27/09 and am not back to work till the 8th of Sept. I walked about 4 miles yesterday and think I definitely could have handled going to work yesterday. Feeling pretty good except for the bloating and some pain on my left side. Although my job is not what I would consider to be physically demanding I do have to go in and out of the office a number of times a day to meet clients so I hope you might feel good enough :blushing:
