How long will it be before I can return to pre weight-loss surgery levels of activity?
This ranges anywhere from 3 days to 6 weeks and depends on how active you were and what type of procedure you had. Most patients need about 2-4 weeks off from work. Patients who undergo the Lap band surgery can usually return to work within 1 week if they desire. Even if you are doing well, you may feel quite fatigued from the starvation and need to avoid work until this resolves.
