Lap Band Removal? Who has had it done?

How was the recovery?  I recall the lap band recovery period was about a week or so.  I am also wondering how long before I can eat normally? 

Recovery was about the same time as when put in but less pain. I was eating regular food about a week out. They had me start on liquids then full liquids for a couple more days then soft, a couple of days and then regular as tolerated.

Hmmm...I've had it done but it has been awhile now and I also was revised in the same surgery, so my recovery experience wouldn't be too similar to that of the removal only procedure. Sorry I can't be of more help, but wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery!

i just talked to my Dr about having mine out she said recovery was a little worse than the procedure to put it in because it has been in a while and tissue has probably grown around it so it will be more invasive to remove everything.

I'm having mine taken out on August 24th and revising to RNY at the same time.  I'm hoping it won't be too bad.
