  1. How soon after being banded can you start normal activities?

    sjms771 replied to sjms771's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I'm sort of used to having surgeries. I've had 3 in the past 5 years, 2 of them being in the last 2 years (c-sections). I know with my last c section I was able to pick up my then 14month old daughter the day after, so I'm hoping the recovery isn't much worse. Any complications other than the normal surgery risks I should be worried about?

    Hi. I'm really new at this. I actually am just in the beginning stages. I have my first appt in 2 weeks, but I have a question. I have 2 young children and I'm wondering how long it will take after surgery until I'm able to take care of them normally? My youngest is a baby and both are still in diapers. Thanks, Nicole
