Hi I had my band on Sat 19/09/09 in the single incision procedure, very fortunate no real pain just discomfort in the waist area after, and some wind pains in left shoulder.
I went back to work on the Monday. I planned to go off sick if i needed to but was fine, just tired so left work early, in the afternoon mon and tues. By Wednesday felt great, did not broadcast it sonobody was any the wiser.
Did not go out or do anything in the evening for 2 weeks and took it very easy .
Every one is different, expect the best and plan for maybe being off 1 week at least, my surgeon told me to be guided
by how i felt so i did.
No Spring Chick either, more like an old hen . (54) .
Good luck with the bands ladies
