What is the post-operation recovery period?
If LAP-BANDâ„¢ System surgery is performed laparoscopically, the typical hospital stay is less than 24 hours. Most patients can return to work within a week and resume exercising within a month to six weeks. If the LAP-BANDâ„¢ System is installed through open surgery, or if there are complications, the recovery period can be significantly longer.
