Hi everybody! I wanted to see the general consensus on how everybody felt at about post-op day 10?? I have an event to go to 10 days after surgery and I know everybody is different...but I just wanted to see if anybody still had issues 10 days later or not?

Well I guess the question is what kind of event. What I've been up to walking a 5k maybe not. Are you talking about a graduation or a wedding? Probably my biggest concern is will involve food and will there be something there you can eat or will you feel comfortable bringing your own food. I think setting yourself up to have to eat foods you're not allowed just because you have an event to go to would be a bad precedent.

I felt great by day 10, but hungry. Be prepared for that.

At ten days post op I was still in need of a little rest, so I wouldnt want to be somewhere for an entire day without an oppurtunity to relax. A few hours would be great! I guess it all up to how intense the activity will be... Best luck to you!

It really depends on the activity.

I felt great and was back to my normal routine by day 5.

About 10 days after surgery we went over to a friends house over night and did some running around, in and out of the car, walking around, up and down some stairs. I felt good but still had to take it easy. It was only for about half the day, but it still made me tired and sore. So depending on the activity's I would just take it easy and don't be surprised if you get more tired and sore than expected. But the food could be an issue, I was able to take my own stuff, but we we're there over night too.

Thank you all so much! It's nothing too strenuous...I have a concert to go to! Lol yeah so I was praying I could still go! Obviously in know everybody is different but I was hoping the responses were exactly what you all gave!

I am 10 days post op today n my lap band issues are fine. Barely any soreness, I can sleep in any position I want. No problems at all. Able to get up/down with ease. I recommend take your own cooler with your allotted foods/liquids.

I went to a concert four days post-op (surgeon had said I would be fine) and with hindsight, I wouldn't do it again. I had gas pains and was still extremely tired. By 10 days I would have enjoyed it a whole lot more.
