Recovery from bariatric surgery is quite fast when performed by excellent equipment and methods. With preparation before surgery and if advanced anesthesia and surgery methodology is used, the hospital stay is no more than 2 days.
After leaving the hospital, the patient can take daily walks of 1 hour, and follow the nutritional instructions. It is a progression diet, adapted in textures, where the first 10 days they must eat a specific diet.
In labor terms if your employment is of the corporate type, that is; office or some other type of relatively quiet employment in a matter of physical demands, the patient may return to work after the first week of having undergone surgery.
