I felt great the day after surgery but very sore and "wiped out" on days 2-7. When I woke up on day 8, I felt really good and made a swift recovery. It just took me a little extra time for the swelling to go down and the port pain to subside.

I had my surgery on A Tues and stayed in the hosp for 2 days. I was pretty beat up for the first week. Week 2 I felt much better. I was able to take 2 weeks off of work and glad I did. The day after surgery I did nothing, lay in the hosp bed and walk the halls. I was in a lot of pain from cutting the muscles. Over all im 7 weeks out and happy as can be!!

I was up and about. I was tired and a little weak, but the day after was ok. But it's like any surgery and you should expect to rest.

The day after surgery I layed on my couch, sipped liquids, dozed, watched movies. For some reason I was wiped out, *really* taken out by the surgery. But by day 3 and 4 I was exponentially better and I was back to work on Friday (I was banded on a Monday).

I didn't tell anyone at work I was banded so there was no special treatment, and they had no idea.
