  1. Day 6 Post- Op. Hello, I can tell you what my doctor said. He told me 2 -3 weeks before I could lift more than 10 m pounds. I am 5 weeks away from moving myself and I think it is safe to say I will be able to help with minimal things (light boxes, putting things away, ect ) but moving my couch, tables and thing NOPE not gonna happen. And as far as swimming I was told 2 weeks of no swimming or baths, short showers only. I guess it depends on how you are stitched up after surgery? I have this superglue(ish) substance that is covering my incisions. Hope your plans work out well and good luck with your band!
  2. I had to take Gas X as well as a gas preventative to help. First BM was day 4 post op but that was because I was taking Miralax day 1.
