recovery time from anesthesia?
How long does it take to get back to "normal" after general anesthesia I have slept excessively since Thursday (at least 2 hour naps each day) and felt like a pig in my eating.
Also my weight is still up about five pounds and I'm pretty sure that it's water weight. I just put my wedding rings back on my left hand today (left is the hand I had surgery on).
So for those of you who have had surgery since WLS, what was your recovery time back to "normal?"

It could take a little more time to get over it than usual - your body is under a lot of stress with a low calorie diet, fat burning, and healing from surgery. Your liver is also under a lot of stress so it may not handle filtering the drugs out of your system as efficiently as it would if you weren't post-WLS. I wouldn't be too concerned, listen to your body and heal. You'll get back where you need to be when you are ready.
