Hi Flower....At U-Mass in Worcester the surgery requires an overnite stay. I asked this specifically of the receptionist at the weight center.

I was banded on Wednesday and was back to a desk job on Monday. Now it is Wednesday and I couldn't do any heavy lifting or anything, but I can now lift up the neighbors 6mo old baby for some lovin'! Every day seems to get better and better. Driving is a bit of a pain though because of crawling in and out of the car still. Just uncomfortable really, not painful. Driving is okay for a quick trip to the store, but I don't want to be in the car for more than ohhhh 15 miles or so.

How old are your children? I know there was no way I was picking up a baby or anything in the first week. (although I did paint my pantry on Sat and Sun after sugery, bad jenna but I had my boys move all the food stuff)
