I am almost 13 months post op, and I would say that probably in the last ocuple of months there is no question that I could dive and do very physical things. I healed in a "normal" manner with only one little bump in the road that was easily fixed (stricture). Now I feel as though I can do anything!!!! No question in my mind that you will be able to be a very active diver in another year!
Best of luck to you!

Thanks for the positive thoughts! I really appreciate it.
I know that I have done my "homework" on this subject and done it well to boot. I did start out wanting the lapband and learned that it wasn't for me and I knew that I would fail at it too. I started looking into the Lap RNY and learned that it WAS for me...and currently I'm waiting for the insurance company to say "yes".
I can't wait to lead a healthier and WAY more active lifestyle, including diving again.
