Does anyone know how soon after lap-band surgery one can enjoy the beach and pool, assuming everything goes as planned.

My dr said 2 weeks. I had my procedure done laparoscopically. Got banded July 1 he said I was on to go in my pool July 15 and thank goodness just in time for the heat wave we are having. N think next summer u will be thinner and healthier and can enjoy it then small sacrifice now fir great pay off later

There are countless organizations that exist exclusively for the betterment and benefit of WOMEN. Go to your local library and do some research. You are worth so much more than he k knows. JUST DO IT!

I guess it's because I'm currently on the liquid diet that I'm "mourning". I plan to follow EVERY SINGLE RULE

You must also remember it has to so with negotiated benefits that the company you (or your spouse) work for set.

If you are large chested I recommend a sports bra. I have heard some docs rec against them but mine was fine with it so long as the band didn't press on any incisions. Without it, one of my breasts was pressing on an incision and causing lots of discomfort. The bra helped a lot.

Thank you all for your posts! I feel so much better now knowing I will still be able to satisfy my thirst.

Would something like a Water ride or roller coaster dislodge the band?

I'm a stomach sleeper.... Do y'all feel the port when you lay on your stomach??? (Please say NO!!)

WoW!! What I insurance companies are these??

I'm a Water lover.... Lots and COLD. Am I ever gonna be able to drink at will (not before/after meals) or at least drink enough to feel satisfied?
