Does anyone have any good advice on healing?

What was the most important things you have done instructed by your dr to make sure you and the band healed in the right place without any complications?

Im just looking for good information to make sure I dont goof up my healing process.

there are a couple, but these two came to mind right away- walk as soon as you're able to, ask someone to help you if necessary. also, follow your post op directions to a "T"

If you have children, DO NOT lift them. Do not lift anything over 10 lbs because i lifted my 10 month old, and i made my biggest insicion hurt way more than it had to. Don't cheat on your liquid diet, because most of the time it IS painful. Drink your water, drink your protein...thats all i got, good luck!

definately walk if possible and if not then make sure you flex and point your feet throughout the day because after any surgery you could develop blood clots so make sure to move your legs even if your in the bed. Don't lift anything to heavy and if you have to cough try to put a pillow against your belly it won't hurt as much.

Keep your protein intake where your doctor tells you to. This will help promote healing and keeping your hair on your head.
