"let's talk about...."

OK so I had my class today and some people were asking questions.  How long until I can drive? How long until I can take a bath?  How long until I can eat solid foods?  I was sitting there thinking of a question and I didn't think that I should ask it....can anyone guess what it was???

LOL.....it was five days when I was banded but 2 days when hubby was banded....are we thinking of the same one??  However long it takes just remember to go easy and no swinging from the chandelier!  

I'd wait to drive until you have quit the narcotic pain meds.  I was banded on a Friday and drove my daughter to practice on a Monday.  I had switched over to plain Tylenol by then.  The first few outings were short and sweet though.

I was told I could shower as soon as I got home but to not soak my bandages although I could get them wet.  I simply showered with my back to the spray.

The solids question is one for you surgeon.  ALL of them have their own timing on this.  I was on solids at day 11 but some surgeons want you to go 5 weeks.

Swinging from the chandelier depends on how much you lost....don't want the ceiling coming down.  I still have to lose for that...can't wait :)

Oh...you naughty girls!

hmmmm.......could that be the sex question?   lol

probably one to two weeks..........general rule of thumb -  if it hurts don't do it!
