  1. I'm having my 10cc lap band removed Oct 9 and then if everything goes as planned, 10 weeks later I'll have RNY. My surgeon told me that my band removal healing experience will be similar to my experience when I had the band placed six years ago. Any helpful post op tips? How long were you guys off work? I have scheduled one week off work and one week strictly working from home (which means a lap top in my lap and answer phone calls/ emails). My job is some desk work but mostly driving and making home visits to elderly clients' homes. Did anyone find the removal healing process easier than the insertion? Thanks
  2. Thanks so much Leepers!!!
  3. I'm having my lap band removed in a few weeks but I smoke occasionally and may still have THC in my system at the time of surgery... Does anyone know if I could be denied surgery if they detect any levels of THC in my blood/ urine tests? Thanks!
