Does the LAP-BAND® System limit physical activity?
No. The LAP-BAND® System does not limit or hamper physical activity. You should be able to do everything from simple stretches to strenuous exercises. Always check with your doctor about the amount and type of exercise that is best for you. Points to Consider: Patients who maintain regular physical activity generally have improved weight loss and health. Most patients will be able to return to work within one week (or less) or having the LAP-BAND® System procedure. The LAP-BAND® System is frequently performed as an outpatient procedure, with many patients going home within a few hours after surgery.
