My surgery was done at 9:30am Monday morning, I was back in my room by 1:00PM and walking the halls by 3:00PM. It wasn't until the next day that I filled with so much gas I looked 9 months preg those next two days were not so nice. Today, I am felling good again thank God. I go back to work next Tuesday. I understand that not all people have a bad recovery time and I'm sure if I were 10 to twenty years younger it would have been better but I'm 50 so heeling was a little harder for me. Good luck for all the April bandsters.

I was banded on feb 22 2012... I was also hurting ALOT do to the gas but I was up and walking an hour after surgery. Hope you feel better

thank you and great job on your current wt loss.

How long was your port site sore on that muscle? Had surgery Wed morning. I have a very physical job so I will be out a month.

You made it to the other side. Good luck and take it easy and remember to walk walk walk for the pain.
