I currently play netball but am getting lap band. Anyone know how long until u can return to sport

Was wondering the same thing! I'm getting banded during my beach volleyball season and want to return for the end of the season! If anyone knows please let me know! :-)

Follow your doc's orders, but I was told to not to do anything other than walking for the first month because you're still healing internally. I did try some slow jogging and elliptical machine too. Just kept it easy until I got cleared to work with my trainer. Here I am 10 months post surgery. During the last 10 months I've done Tough Mudder, Ragnar relay (2x), numerous 10k races and 2 half marathons. Who would've thought!?

my doc says at least 6 weeks to do anything strenuous... I think by 6 weeks you should be able to play your sports.. I started riding my horse again @ 6 weeks and have had no problems plus I walk 2 miles a day ...haven't started doing anything else yet.. but I am finally getting more mobile...

Every doc is different. Be sure to ask.

It's up to your Dr.....I was released to do just about anything after 1 week....then he said go easy with weight lifting for 2-3 weeks.....

But now, I do whatever I want as though the band was not even there....so it does not Handicap you from your normal day to day.....
