I'm two years post lap band surgery and have lost 117 lbs. I'm scheduled for a TT this month. I'm very nervous about the pain and not being able to move for long periods... Just was wondering when everyone was able to move with some ease and do light walking, light housework, sit on the computor, driving for short periods?

Hi:

Light walking right away. No lifting, pushing, pulling, etc. No driving for I believe 3 - 4 weeks. You'll find that if you keep your activity down your swelling will stay down too.

Best wishes to you.

My PS told me - Even though I would be fine to drive at 1wk post op - My Insurance wouldn't have covered me shoudl anything happen - He said at 2weeks I was OK - But my TT did not involve the muscles as previous Ops I have had in the past made that impossible
