Just curious, how are you moms and dads are making out with young kids post op. I have a soon to be 10 month old and i will be banded the day after she turns 10 months. She loves for me to pick her up, hold her, and its mostly dad taking care of her in the day. My job is after work and into the night. Any thoughts??

My son was 11 months when I had surgery. I was given conflicting advice. The surgeon said I was fine to lift and the nurse said no lifting for a week. I again talked to the surgeon and he gave the okay. I had surgery on Friday and so Friday, Sat, Sun. DH was home and did all the lifting. By Monday I was back at work and so was he so I started lifting him again by Monday morning. All docs are different so you should talk with yours but I thought I would share my experience.
