Can I please get an idea on recovery times for keyhole lapband surgery? How long before I can drive and other day to day stuff. I am having a week off work.

I hope you have a quick one but what is keyhole surgery?

I am in Australia so we probably have different terminology. Keyhole surgery is less invasive done with a few small incisions. Not full open surgery if that makes sense?

I also took one week off from work.

I was out driving and running errands by day 3.....stopped by the office by day 5, and was back to work full time 7 days later.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
