kmills630 0 Posted April 7, 2008 how soon can you go back to work after the lapband? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kathystrick 3 Posted April 7, 2008 I have read that some people go back to work in just a couple of days, while some wait a couple of weeks. I think it actually is an individual thing depending a lot on the physical requirements of your job and personal tolerance for pain. Since this procedure is not as invasive as RNY, the recovery period is not nearly as long. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
