Topic: Open Roux-en-Y recovery?? instead of laproscopic

Most of the people I have spoken with have had their surgery laproscopically. My surgeon only does it open with a 5 in*****ision so the recovery is going to be different. I was wondering if anyone else out there had theirs this way and can share what their recovery period was like. I really don't want to be off 6 weeks from work and am hoping to return after 4 weeks.

thanks
Joanne
