Hi everyone I was banded on the 7th dec 2013. Post n pre surgery was ok and I've lost nearly 3 stone. Have loads of excess skin on my belly but not much elsewhere . Was hoping if anyone experienced having wind all day. Some days are ok but pre surgery I hardly ever passed wind as much as I do now. Jus drink it strange.

Also I really want to get a tuck as my nurse sed it's the best time for me to have one if I was to get one. However I'm scared of the length of recovery time as with 3 kids from 2-7 i need to gt back on my feet. Also is there a lot of swelling as I've seen some videos n the patients seem to be swollen massively around their thigh area. I've had two c sections... Wondering if the recovery n procedure is similar to a tummy tuck.

Thanks

I am scheduled for a Tummy Tuck (and a few other surgeries at the same time) in a month. I was also concerned about the recovery time although from what I understand if you have a good surgeon you should be back to normal within 4-6 weeks. Have you checked out realself.com? They have a lot of valuable information on that site and it will help you choose a surgeon that is highly rated.
