    As long as it's just a small amount, use Band-aids. If you're soaking a Band-aid you should call your doctor. My first lapband surgery I went back to work at one week and felt HORRIBLE, and no one knew I'd had surgery. It was rough, but I made it through and got better from there.

    This time around (just band my band restitched and plication) so far the recovery has been much easier! Just had surgery on Thursday the 15th and actually went shopping today. All I can say is it does get better.

    Watch your incisions for pus or a bad smell, or if you're running any fever. You definitely want to contact your doctor if you're showing any signs of infection!!
