Recovery time for gastric bypass?

Hi. I am having bypass surgery in a couple of weeks. It is a revision from gastric sleeve. How long did you need to recuperate?

Hopefully some of the revision folks will chime in, but it took me a couple of weeks to get my full energy back. I took a week off work and then did light telework for 2 more weeks so that I could rest occasionally during the day. That said, I wasn't in pain, just tired.

I think everyone is different. I had lots of pain and it took me a good month to feel back to my normal self, and even then, I had super low energy and was tired quickly.

Hi Donna Marie. I am having revision surgery too but not till November. I noticed you had your initial surgery in 2006. The same as me. Good luck. I will be interested to see how you go. Did you have reflux also?

Hello:

i had had the gastric sleeve surgery in Oct. 2011. I have to have a revision to the gastric bypass due to severe acid reflux and a hiatal hernia. Looks like sometime on Oct. or Nov. I was extremely happy with the weight loss with the sleeve. I lost 112 lbs and was about 18lbs from my goal weight. I gained 50 lbs during this past year which is crazy because after each meal my acid reflux is so bad I would have to vomit. So now I just on liquids and broth.

If anyone can share what to expect, weight loss, pain level, recovery time will be greatly appreciated.
