Teachingmom 3 Posted February 23, 2014 Which surgery was "easier?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2muchfun 8,927 Posted February 23, 2014 Being banded, recovery was quite easy for me. I went back to work in a few days. I do read where some struggle for up to 2 weeks but I think on average it's 5-7 days before we all felt like we were getting back to normal(considering we have 5 holes punched in our abdomen). I cant speak to the sleeve recovery time? tmf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
