How long does it take to recover from Bariatric Surgery?
Gastric bypass surgery is a major procedure, and recovery doesn’t happen overnight. Therefore, it’s important to follow your surgeon’s postoperative recovery instructions. Postoperative pain and discomfort: Many people think that bariatric surgery will be followed by a long and painful recovery period. However, patients usually do not have that experience. In fact, many patients speak of discomfort and soreness rather than pain. Recovery does, however, vary from patient to patient. You may want to speak with your surgeon if you are very concerned about postoperative pain.
