Will I
be restricted to a specific type of diet after my Obesity Easy Lap Band
procedure?
How
long is the recovery process for Obesity Easy Lap Band surgery?
After the Obesity Easy Lap Band is placed around the
stomach, you'll need time to heal and adjust to the smaller size of your
stomach. Your Obesity Easy Lap Band surgeon will prescribe a liquid diet in the
beginning of your recovery process. You can progress to soft foods, and then
begin eating regular food.
You can eat whatever you want after the procedure. It makes
sense to eat high calorie foods in moderation. Alcoholic drinks should also be
consumed in moderation. Most Easy Lap Band doctors suggest that you don't drink
too much liquid while eating your meals. If you drink too much with your meal
you could force food through the small stomach pouch. This could lessen the
feeling of satiety that the Obesity Easy Lap Band provides.
You can return home the same day of surgery and return to
work or school in seven days or less. The Obesity Easy Lap Band has a low rate
of complications Remember to give yourself time to get used to the Easy Lap Band and limit any strenuous activity for awhile after the procedure.
