Hello all I am Michelle, I have a appointment next week with the Dr to talk about lap band surgery. I have a couple questions maybe someone can answer for me.

1. How long is the recover time since I am thinking of having surgery why I am of for college in December which is about 4 weeks.
   
2. And I am worried about having to much hanging skin after the surgery.

Time to recover....I think the really depends on the person. I took 3 days off from work when I had mine done but everyone is different.

Hanging skin...again I think that is different for everyone. I have more skin now then I ever thought about BUT the Lapband is so worth it!

Good-luck to you ! Oh and btw lol hey and welcome :wink2:

I've heard that exercising helps with the hanging skin. I'm hoping that's true...

I had my surgery on a Friday and was back to work on Monday. Now, I was not moving swiftly but I was not in any pain or discomfort. I felt completely like myself(mobility wise) 4-5 days after surgery.
