Gig41 no need to be nervous, you'll be out before you even realize it. I just had my surgery yesterday and it was a breeze. I'm tender and it hurts to get up and down but other than that all is good. Just think of things that make you happy and why you're going lap band....keep your eye on the prize, you'll do great! Deb

Hi all! Ladybug28 is right, you will be out before you know it. I had surgery on the 22nd and went grocery shopping with my mom yesterday, little more than 24 hours after surgery! Got a good nap after but wasn't too sore. This is a very blunt question but for all you out there that have had the Lapband done, how long before you had a bowel movement? Thanks!

Thanks guys! Things came out...fine! My left shoulder keeps hurting but I've been pretty active. I plan on actually walking around the neighborhood today to see if that helps. For all of you experienced bansters, when does the stomach swelling go down? Thanks, Amy

Amy, It took several days for my swelling to go down. It was pretty close to a week for me. Glad the surgery went well. Keep up on the gas-x for the pain. My gas pain was in my neck the whole time!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
