Follow-up for Got Banded?

 Hi Everyone, Ok it has been 1wk from my hospital discharge and I must say I am feeling much better.  I am a little gasy but I am only taking liquid tynenol at night.  Pain level is probably a 2 when I really start moving around.  I can drive and shop so I am happier than I was last week.  I am still in the semi-liquid but I am craving real food.  I didn't tell my friends what kind of surgery I had so they (god bless them) are bring my favourite foods to help me recover.  At least I don't have to cook for my family.   When is in Okay to start at Curves or Ladies Express? I was reading the main message board and their was a lady who started working out too soon and had a flipped port.  Ouch, so she had to have surgery to reposition the port.   Hope everyone is doing great, Monisha

Monisha, I would wait the full 4-6 weeks that your surgeon recommends before doing curves or ladies express.  You can definitely get in the cardio groove - walking, running, ellypticals.  Just avoid strength training.  I flipped mine and had to have it fixed via surgery & I was back at the gym after 2 weeks - looking back, I wish I would have been more cautious and ignored my release!

Ouch, I have been reading about people port's flipping.  How does that happen?  I definitely what to avoid that happening.  You are doing great though. Thank You, Monisha
