I am just starting the process for having gastric bypass surgery. I am trying to determine how long I will be out after surgery. I know it is different for everyone, but I am just trying to get a general idea.....

My surgery was April 23rd. I didn't have any complications from surgery either. However I broke out in a rash all over and had a terrible cold and fever. I went in on a Monday and came home on Wednesday. That's only because I had a fever. I'd say after the first week I felt really good. My energy was back and I started exercising. I didn't even need pain medication when I got home.

I am glad everyone that responded had speedy recoveries. Are there those that had recovery times that were longer? What about complications after surgery?

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
