Post Op Question

[luvbug0712 41]

I have a question my LapBand surgery is schd for 2/29/12 and this is sooner then I expected. We were planning to take our 3 boys to Disney some time in March so my question is:

Will planning a trip to Disney a month after my surgery be that bad? I'm not sure how I will fell afterwards.... any insight is helpful.

This depends on how long your Dr. wants you on liquids then purreed, then solids. As for my Dr. I had to be on liquid diet for 2 weeks, and the same for the rest. Other Drs. do the diet differently. So depending on him will depend on how well you will enjoy disney or not.

Good luck

My diet will be the same as yours... I'm just wondering will I be sore.

Keep in mind for the first 4 weeks after surgery you're not supposed to do any strenuous exercise or lift anything over 10 pounds. That would include luggage. Depending on when in March you go, you could have a bit of tenderness or gas pain still too.

You are sore but it is not awful. I just had my gallbladder removed (Thursday will be a week) and I am in more pain with this than I was with the band surgery. Just take things day by day, and dont overdo anything.

Speaking of GAS....make sure you get those gas x strips, they will come in handy
