Hi Everyone!

A friend of mine is scheduled to have the lap band.  She is curious how long it takes for the tummy to be well enough to wear something around her waist.  I had gastric bypass over 3 years ago (wow that long) but I don't know if having the band makes the waist more tender.  How long did you have to wait to wear something around your waist?

I hope everyone is doing well!  I love coming back to the boards and seeing that PA is still the best board here ! :=)

I have the band but it was so long ago I just can't remember!  I did have port replacement last fall and I wore stretchy loose clothes for a few days but went back to work in my dress clothes a few days later.  Hope this helps and good luck to your friend.

You can't measure your achievements with someone else's yardstick!
