I was banded at 1200 on Friday and walking (albeit slowly) on Sunday. I was back to my desk job on Monday, and walking from work (about 30 min normally, 45 min that first week) that same day. I was not on any pain meds, and the gas pains were gone by Tuesday.

I was in the gym the very next day, followed by walking around the mall a couple of hours with my wife. Most docs (check with yours) will encourage you to walk every day post surgery. The trick is to listen to your body and do not overdue it.

While its possible to start being active within 24-48 hours as long as you don;t push it too much, consider that your active lifestyle has probably contributed to your weight. Perhaps its time to slow down and start taking care of yourself for a change.

I had surgery on Friday, stayed at the hospital until Saturday morning. I felt horrible on Saturday and Sunday, but this was due to getting over the anesthesia - not everyone has this problem. On Monday I went to a movie and went back to work on Wednesday. It took about 2 weeks to feel normal again.
