recovery from revision

[Leena 108]

I'm wondering how recovery from revision has been for people. I had my band removed in April & will have the bypass July 8th. I'm supposed to go on vacation the end of August. Just wondering if I'll be ready for desert camping then.

My removal recovery was easy, back to myself after 3 days. My initial lap band surgery recovery was long and hard- took 2 weeks before I was fuctioning without pain.

I would say it really just depends on you and your tolerance for pain any surgery is going to hurt and it will take your body from what i have read about a good month to be feeling functional again. some people follow their doctors orders walk a ton and feel good after about two weeks so best thing to do is follow your plan and be strong good luck keep us updated!

I had band removed and revised to bypass on May 21. I feel awesome! I could definitely go camping now. I found this easiest surgery I ever had.

I had my revision from band to bypass in one procedure less than 2 weeks ago. I already feel ready for vacation! Everyone heals differently, just don't get a set date in your head for feeling 100%, as you may disappoint yourself. You will be ready to go by vacation time!
