I was banded this morning. I'm feeling pretty good, considering. The port incision hurts the worst.

Anyway, how often and how much should I be walking today and tomorrow? I want to be careful about clots and gas pain. Do I need to set an alarm to walk in the middle of the night?

My doc suggested 15 minutes per hour, if possible. Sleep is important.... So no walking during those hours. Good luck!

I walked around my house every time I woke up and all day off and on constantly. I am not talking a marathon by any means but at least enough to get everything moving. I never experienced any gas etc but seems most people do. If you are up to pee, walk around, if up to get a drink, you get the idea? As much as you comfortably can.

Good luck!

Thank you both!
