When Did You Feel 100% Better After Surgery?

[hmd 7]

Had Surgery on July 2 and have to say it's been a rough road but I've been back to "normal" for only a few days now... Follow directions and it will be ok. Took me awhile to accept that but its the truth. I even thought this surgery was a "set it and forget it" situation...WRONG. I put even more thought into what I eat, when I eat it & when to start & when to stop... It's another job, deal with it get over it and get used to it... It's not all bad... I'm down close to 30lbs already!

i am back to work and doing normal activity. i was banded the 10th. Still get a little sore sometimes or it feels like it you ever been pregnant the babies butt in under my ribs but that is it. Still a little fatique but i am sure that will pass soon. i have a very active job so i am moving around constantly.

Other than being exhausted, I felt great just 2 days post-op. Still had 6 days off of work - but I didn't stop my life and sit on the couch the whole time. Went to the store, cleaned house, etc. I'd say 100% about 2weeks. But I'd found different ways to move around. Like instead of bending over or even regular squatting to get something off the floor, I would plie - no, not a ballerina, just found it the easiest way to get lower without any discomfort.

100% was at two weeks...

I had surgery the 12th. I had my gallbladder taken out and was supposed to have lapband surgery as well. Well' date=' my gallbladder was pretty bad and my surgeon couldn't put in the lap band. My stomach still feels miserable. I have the lapband incisions because my surgeon was planning on putting the lapband in. I am now scheduled for lapband surgery on August 6th and I start school the 20th. Will I have enough time to recuperate? Because right now I'm 10 days out and still feel miserable...

PS- I'm glad some of you are feeling better and I hope the rest of us feel 100% better soon![/quote']

I had my gallbladder out 8 years before my band and maybe time erased some things but to me the band recovery took longer than gb (both laproscopic). I also had a hernia repair with my band, so maybe that's why. I was only off work for 4 days, and wish I would have took a couple more. I would think you'll be ok to do school a couple weeks after surgery, unless you still feel bad going in to surgery. Double check with your Doc and feel better soon!

Thank you! I'm starting to feel better, I'm almost two weeks out now. I do have a sprained foot? Haha I don't think that is from surgery though. I hope I will be better by the time school starts, I cant afford to postpone this surgery much longer. Thank you to all who answered. To those who are still recuperating, I wish you a speedy recovery!
