Recovering From Bariatric Surgery

 

Recovery takes time and patience. The diet is strict; you may experience discomfort and pain as your body heals, and the length of time to return to normal activities can vary from patient to patient. A recent study found that ,on average, gastric bypass patients:

- Started an oral diet in 1.58 days2
- Left the hospital on the second day2
- Returned to work at 21 days2

 

Many bariatric patients who experienced transformations of their health were able to do so because they began exercising and eating healthfully prior to surgery. Losing a few pounds before surgery can help to reduce the possibility of surgical complications.

Not sure how all those things enter into the equation, Joe. All I know is for me: Biking = Exercise = Addiction = No more food addiction = Weight maintenance.   Boner
