Greetings from Oregon. I am meeting with Bariatric docs Friday. I am hopeful to pursue lap band. I still have several questions. :tea:I am an avid horse back rider and my big questions are about activity like that and slippage. Any thoughts about this out there?

Boy, kittyhorse, that's a new one on me! I have no idea. You might get more responses if you ask this again on the General threads.

All the best with your plans.

I don't think you would have any problems with horseback riding. My doctor said once I was healed, I could resume any normal activities I did preband. Just make sure to pose that question when you go in for your consult.

I asked my Dr, for the same reason. After healing, it's not a problem. Ask your Dr. just to make sure.
