Hello April bandsters, I have a date of April 1st for my surgery. The only issue that I am having is that I am going on vacation May 16th to Dominican Republic for a week and I was wondering if it is to soon to fly and what type of restrictions will I have with food and alcohol intake. Is 6 weeks enough rest time and will I be able to go into pool that soon with the incisions??? My Dr. said I can wait till after I got back from vacation but that would have set me back into the summer and I didnt think I can wait any longer. Any suggestions from anyone???? Did anyone swim 5 to 6 weeks after surgery? very confused.

I'm to be banded on April 2. My doctor says no swimming or baths for 6 weeks post-op because of the risk of infection. I am actually travelling on April 18 and surgeon says that is fine so long as stick to my post-op diet.
