Any Air Traffic Controllers here? What does the flight surgeon say?

Any air traffic controllers here? I'm wondering what, if any restrictions, the flight surgeons puts on you if you decide to get a lapband.

Thanks

I'm a private pilot, not an ATC, but the advice here covers us both. I recently completed my 3rd Class medical renewal following band surgery. I disclosed everything, had reports from docs,etc. All was fine. Looks like ATCs need to report their recovery to the Flight Surgeon before resuming your duties.

By the way, THANK YOU for helping me keep my rear end safe up there.

Hope that helps.
