we are not all the same, It took me till day 6 to feel human. just do what the doc tells you, gas x will be your best friend, and walk asap. and you willl do fine.

We are not all the same but I started walking as soon as I could before my band date! I did what the Dr told me to do and I walked, walked, gas-x, oh did I tell you that I walked! LOL I guess the only thing I can say is drink, walk, gas-x, pain meds and do what the Dr tells you to do. I was banded on May 2, and back to work on May 6th. Good luck to you and please keep us updated on how you are doing!

I am almost 3 weeks post-op and I can finally say that I feel 100% again. I really saw a difference at the 2 week mark. I was banded on a Thurs and back to work Monday.. however I was SO TIRED! I took a lot of lunch-time naps and left early for the first few days back. I finally have my energy back. I know it's not fun while you're in it, but you will get through it and it's great on the other side!

I was banded 4/29 and it took me a full 9 days before I was back at work and feeling better. The best thing that everyone says is true, lots of walking. Don't sit for too long, keep getting up to walk a little bit and keep yourself hydrated.
