Previous bander too. My surgery is Sept. 8th! Good luck!!!

Where do I find the group Not For The Faint? Tx!

Hi - I'm booked for Sept. 8th. Are the videos helpful?

I think age plays a part in the recovery time. I am 59 and 12 days post op and have bad pain down my left flank and exhaustion. My surgeon advised it will be 4-6 weeks + before I feel back to normal. Note: I was in hospital for 5 days with fever and extreme pain with my band removal. It has been rough. I have not lost the 9lbs water weight I gained in hospital. ????

Hi - Mine was removed after 10 years, 5 days ago. I have five 5mm incisions and one longer one. The first 3 days were rough with pain and I'm on pain meds still.the worst pain came from my shoulder from the gas. I have to take a daily vitamin plus iron now as my iron was low (normal blood loss from surgery) in post surgery tests. I see my surgeon in a week for follow up. I was on clear liquids for 3 days then eggs, soup, cottage cheese now. Good luck to you! Let me know how you do.
