Banded_7_17_08

Hello Everyone: I'm 37 years old, from Buffalo, NY, and I was just banded on 7-17-08 in Mexico. I'm pleased with my decision to go to Mexico, I'm just wondering if anybody else has suffered from shingles following the surgery? I'm praying that this is not an indication that my body is rejecting the band. I'm responsive to the medication, but it seems to be taking forever and I'm itching like crazy... Here is another question I have been wondering about: at what point have fellow lapband recipients resumed excercise activities? I started walking almost immediately, but I'm hesitant to head out to the health club. My doctor indicated that I was fine to do the treadmill, eliptical machine and the stationary bike anytime in the next 6 weeks, I'm paranoid about dislocating the band and aside from walking, I'm hesitating to do housework! I would welcome any and all feedback. Thanks!
