Dr. Barker talks about recovery time and fatigue following weight loss surgery.
The amount of recovery time you will need before returning to work depends on a number of factors, including the type of bariatric surgery you had, your physical condition, and the nature of your work. Fifty to sixty percent of patients are back to work in one week and almost all patients are back to work within two weeks. Patients can expect to experience soreness for one week and some fatigue for two to three weeks after surgery. Most patients are able to resume pre-surgery levels of activity within six weeks, though some can return to activities within just a few weeks of bariatric surgery. During a follow-up visit at our Texas practice, we can discuss the timing for your eventual return to work.
