  1. I think its different for everyone. There were ladies straight up walking around laughing and joking only a few hours after surgery. Where i was alot worse. One of the ladies the very next day was lifting her suitcase and felt absolutelt fine but i was quiet ill the few days after surgery. As regards to lifting, i think i was back to normal around a week later. Just be careful and do whats best for you. Everyone is different.
  2. Hi, I had the surgery done in may last year. I was quiet open about it, at work and with friends. To be honest it stops peoples mind wondering and asking you so many questions as to why your not eating properly and why your losing weight. I just found it easier to tell the truth and if people want to judge from there then thats up to them. Im so happy with my surgery. I had the surgery done last year and i feel great. A lot of people said i was to young (at 21 years old) but its my choice and its the best thing ive done. I feel great!

    need advice re weakness

    Hi, I had my lap banding done 5 months ago and with me being 21 i was quiet worried about going through with it. I felt week and groggy for about a month after surgery and i was asking for advise also as i didnt think this was normal. i felt extremely tired and ill and i was very down thinking have i done the right thing. But dont worry once your first month is over, You start to feel much better. Now 5 months on ive only lost 1 stone but im very happy with that. I must admit i dont stick to a strict diet but i have cut out many things that are hard to digest like Bread, Red meat and try and eat things i dont have a problem with. My food intake has gone down dramatically. i dont feel deprived of food and im very glad i went through with it. I would suggest it to anyone, I feel great! If anyone wants to ask me anything about the lap banding please dont hesitate to ask. Shelley x
