Lap Band Surgery Recovering
Dietary Guidelines
During the first few weeks after surgery, you need to take the time to recover and to start adjusting to your new life with the LAP-BANDŽ Adjustable Gastric Banding System. A big part of your long term weight loss success will be your motivation and commitment to a new lifestyle that includes a new diet and exercise plan, routine check ups with your surgeon, ongoing LAP-BANDŽ System adjustments, support group meetings, and more. However, be patient with yourself in the first weeks after surgery. You've already taken the biggest step - the first one. Now, it'll be a new life and lifestyle you create over time, not overnight. Our doctor will work with you to address your needs specifically.
Here are some key points for your recovery in the first few days and weeks.
First Days
You can expect some soreness, especially where the access port is, but it should subside (Please call your surgeon if the pain persists after a few days).
To prevent infection, your surgeon may tell you not to shower for a day or so after surgery.
Try to walk as much as you can comfortably, so that you'll regain strength and prevent blood clots, but take it slowly.
First Week(s)
During the first week after surgery, allow yourself to recover and get plenty of rest.
In about a week, you should be able to return to work, provided it's not physically demanding.
For more physically active jobs, allow yourself two to three weeks to recover.
Within four to six weeks, you should be able to resume all normal activity and start a new exercise program. Note: Before engaging in any physical activity or exercise program, first consult your surgeon.
Your First Adjustment
The first adjustment usually occurs about six weeks after surgery, although the exact time varies from patient to patient. The LAP-BANDŽ System is designed to help you achieve steady and safe weight loss, so don't be in a hurry. You and your surgeon will decide when the time is right for you to have your first adjustment.
At your first adjustment appointment, you should expect to discuss your eating habits, exercise, and rate of weight loss. This will help determine if it's time for you to have a band adjustment. If it is, you can expect the following:
* An evaluation of your pouch size and stoma size before adjusting the band (this isn't always done. Your surgeon may or may not evaluate your pouch size and stoma size before the adjustment.)
* Adjustment of your LAP-BANDŽ System
* Evaluation of your pouch size and stoma size after the procedure to confirm that the proper band adjustment has been made.
