Hi I know i had the bypass not the band but i was up and about within a couple of hours. i was able to do most things pretty much straight away although driving was uncomfortable and i was advised not to for 2 weeks. With 2 kids to get to school and nursery and a husband working away i had no choice but to do everything the day after the op. (not wise i would give yourself some chill time sure it makes recovery better) x

ok ty hun its hard when its just you to do it im being banded on saturday so think il give it a try monday and see how i go

give it a few days I would say. Although I was up and about after my op, and I did do a ten minute walk to the shops on day 4 post-op it left me feeling very tired and strangely breathless. By a week after I was fine, driving and feeling much better about walking distances. I know it is individual, but be prepared for even a short walk to make you feel pretty tired in the early days post-op. Hope this helps x
