Recovery and Life at Home after Bariatric Surgery
Recovery after bariatric surgery takes time and patience. The diet is strict. You may experience discomfort and pain as your body heals. The length of time to return to normal activities can vary from patient to patient. Some patients are able to return to work within a few weeks and see weight loss soon after surgery. For others, a couple of months go by before they experience noticeable weight loss. From lifestyle changes to health transformations that change lives, life after surgery is full of both successes and challenges.
