How long did it take for you to feel 100% better?

I would like to know that question too!! I'm 10 days post op and definitely not there yet!!

I dont think I ever felt just 100% I'd have to say about 4 to 6 weeks post op I felt about 200% better. I just woke up one morning and felt fantastic. It will take a few weeks so hang in there!!

I was back to my normal schedule 5 days post op. I was feeling fine by 7 days.

Took me about two weeks! My stomach was very swollen after surgery and the thought of food made me sick to my stomach for quite a while until the swelling went down.

I had my surgery on a tues and was back to work that following Monday. I would say I was at 100% 3 weeks where I felt no pain. Hang in there it gets better

I had surgery the 19 and I'm heading back to work tomorrow I'm not 100% yet but I'd same a good 85%.

I too had my surgery on the 19th and heading back to work tomorrow. I'm not in any pain and feeling pretty good.

I had surgery the 12th. I had my gallbladder taken out and was supposed to have lapband surgery as well. Well, my gallbladder was pretty bad and my surgeon couldn't put in the lap band. My stomach still feels miserable. I have the lapband incisions because my surgeon was planning on putting the lapband in. I am now scheduled for lapband surgery on August 6th and I start school the 20th. Will I have enough time to recuperate? Because right now I'm 10 days out and still feel miserable...

PS- I'm glad some of you are feeling better and I hope the rest of us feel 100% better soon!

I understand Gall Bladder surgery takes longer to heal and feel good. The lapband surgery is Aug 6 and you still have 14 days until school. I believe you will be alright.

My band is on Aug 6.

I went Christmas shopping 3 days after being banded, but it was only to 3 stores next to each other and for one hour. Just being outside for a little walking and fresh cool air did wonders for me , as did a hot shower. I went back to work feeling 100 % fine 7 days after i was banded.

Thank you to everyone who answered! Rojasnoll, we are scheduled for surgery the same day. May we have a safe surgery and a speedy recovery!

I would say that each week gets better. I am a little over a month out and am back to normal.

Thank you newskinnygal or asking and everyone that answered I was wondering the same thing banded 7/18/12

I'm 2 1/2 weeks out and feel great, as long as I am kind to my abdomen. I did, however, have to go out and buy a couple of loose fitting dresses to return to work since I'm not up to buttons and zippers yet. Sleeping and energy are also back 100%. Hang in there. Every day it gets better!

Had Surgery on July 2 and have to say it's been a rough road but I've been back to "normal" for only a few days now... Follow directions and it will be ok. Took me awhile to accept that but its the truth. I even thought this surgery was a "set it and forget it" situation...WRONG. I put even more thought into what I eat, when I eat it & when to start & when to stop... It's another job, deal with it get over it and get used to it... It's not all bad... I'm down close to 30lbs already!
