I have decided I am sick of the band and I want it out.

I can't tell my boss why I need time off work. I really had no recovery with the band surgery. I had it on a fri and went back to work on Monday. I had no pain what so ever and really could not even tell I had surgery.

I have heard that the revision surgery is more painful due to having the port removed. Does anyone know how much time I will need off from a desk job?

I really plan to sneak out of town and only tell my kids what I am doing. Not many people even know I have the band.

Thanks, I appreciate any advice anyone can give me.:hurray:

Can't share anything about a revision surgery but having the band removed was a breeze for me as it was OP this time and had none of the gas pains as I did prior. I thought the port would be an issue but it really wasn't. It's the looks the same as all my other scars. We're all dif but that's my story, Nancy. Good luck to you.

Since you are having surgery with Aceves you'll be in the hospital for three nights following surgery, all total you'll be in Mexico for 4 nights/5 days. So if you took a total of a week off, that would be fine. Two weeks is ideal, one week is fine, or was for me anyway.
