How long before you went back to work after your band to sleeve revision?

Any info is appreciated.

Had it on a Monday, went back the following Monday. I was tired but not in any real pain, and I felt better getting out of the house and back into routine. I tend to heal really fast though, and have a freakishly high pain tolerance.

6 weeks for me, but this was a personal choice. I didn't want the mental fog that sometimes happens early in the post-op period.

I was out for four weeks, which was fine for me. You have to get used to diet it is a little different from your band diet. Good luck
