Revision recovery

[MichJohn77 39]

Having revision from sleeve to bypass Monday. Doc said I should be good to go back to work in 2 weeks. Anyone else who had revisions I am curious to know how long it took you to go back to work. Thanks!

I didn't have a revision.... just gastric bypass. Most recommendations I saw were for 2-4 weeks off work. I chose to take 3 weeks off. It probably depends most on the type of job that you have... and perhaps on the post-op nutrition plan. 3 weeks was a good amount of time to take off except that my first day back at work was my first day transitioning to solid food. That was a struggle. Your doctor will likely support you in whatever time off works best for your circumstances. Share your preferences and thoughts with him/her.
