Well I didn't have a band I had open, And i couldn't wait so about 2 days after my surgery I had too. been doing fine eversince, it seems that if my tummy is upset or i ate to much that it helps tremendously to calm my tummy down. Just be carefull not to cough to hard untill you are completely healed up, at first i even held a pillow up to my tummy just to hold everything in place if i had to cough.
