Hi everyone. I am getting banded on July 7th. I have a very specific question. 10 days after surgery, I will need to get into (and out of) the backseat of a small, two-door car. It is a Toyota Yaris and the front seat slides up to make more room to enter and exit.

My question is, by ten days will I most likely be ok with the twisting/bending required to to do this?

Thank you!

Most of us are back to normal after 4 days or so.

If you can do it now, you should be able to do it 10 days post-op.

You will be fine!!!

I was 10 days post-op yesterday, and was back to feeling normal. I think I was back to feeling 100% at about 6 days out.

I was banded on a Friday morning and the doc said I should be able to go back to work on Monday. Thank GOD that the Monday following my surgery was a holiday! I did not go back to work until Tuesday and was only able to do half days the remainder of the week. By the following Monday (10th day post op) I felt like a new person and was back to full time days as usual. If there is one thing I would tell someone about to be banded it is... give yourself a week (7 days) to heal... you need it. Hope this helps... Good Luck!
