You should feel fine by the time school starts. I went back to work after four days, but I fely totally normal after one week. You will have some incision pain for several weeks, mainly at the larger incision. Don't worry, follow your doc's orders, and take you meds until you feel better. Good Luck To You! :clap2:

Pre-op Weight 206 Surgery 07-13-07 Current Weight 192 (still!) -15 inches Hi July 2007 Banders! I was banded July 13th, and I lost 14 pounds and 7.5 inches in the first two weeks. I haven't lost additional weight since. I'm following my doc's orders regarding food. But, I know my body is changing because I've taken my measurements every week. In spite of the scale hanging on for dear life I'm now at -15 inches over-all. I will have my first fill on 08-09. If I don't feel as restricted as I did the first two weeks after surgery, I will go back in for a 2nd fill. I want this tool to work for me! Has anyone else experienced this too?

Thank you Harley Girl. I hope I can do as well as you have!

Thank you! Just take it easy after surgery and follow your doc's orders. I'm sure you'll do well.

Surgery 07-13-07 Weight pre-op: 206 Current weight:192.5 (three weeks post-op) I recovered within fours days and returned to work. I lost the 13.5 pounds during the first two weeks.
