Hi Lori,

Check with the LapBand forum, but I understand that they general recovery for the lapband is about 3 weeks. Of course, it varies from person to person. I also understand that Enochs often sends his lapband patients home on a sameday, outpatient basis. You can probably check this with his office as well.

All the best,

Barb

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!
