Just out of the hospital as we speak! Still a bit stiff but feeling good! I am sure I will have lots of questions as I get used to all this!

Out of curiosity though anyone who had the band for a while and does bench presses and squats and heavy weight exercises or is this not advisable forever?

Thanksfor the info! I guess I am still under the anesthetics effect! It's a good thing I never press on that fentany button I'd still be with the fairies! Had my surgery 29 hours ago so I am still a bit stiff even though I am not in too much pain.

BTW it was a first strange question to ask!

I am 51M ! Born in Montreal Quebec Canada but Now living in Western Australia for the past 5 1/2 years!

I do tons of squats and presses and do lifting quite a bit. I'm a girl, so I'm not doing as much as a guy, but it should be okay for you after awhile.
