I'm still waiting for the surgery to be scheduled. Every day I take lasik for retention. If I forget it until late in the day my legs swell up from the feet to the knees making my skin tight as a drum. From folks post surgery, does blood pressure and Water get better after like the advertising touts?

I can tell you from personal experience that the water retention problem i had went away within weeks of being banded. My legs from the knee down would swell up to painfull proportions. My feet and ankles got so much smaller i had to buy all new socks and shoes.

I have had little to no relief with the swelling as of yet but overall i feel much better.I was banded on June 4, 2008 but was not myself till the last week of June .
