In general Lap-Bands are put in as an outpatient surgery, so you're up on your feet, home the same day sleeping in your own bed that night and certainly being active and moving around in the first few days is critically important. People typically are able to go back to work after five to seven days. If your pain threshold is less you may be able to go back to work a little earlier but in general thats the time frame I would recommend taking off from work if you can.
