Recovery Time After surgery
I stayed two nights in the hospital and had minimal pain and no nausea. I didn't need any prescription painkillers after day two. I went shopping for about 3 hours within a week. I went back to work after two weeks. HOWEVER, at about 4 weeks post-op, my energy level is about half of what it was pre-surgery. I think the significant calorie reduction is a factor so consider that fact when making your post-op plans. Good luck! This is an exciting time in your life and whatever your recovery looks like, it will be worth it.
