When can I expect to go back to work after the band?

It depends on how well you cope with a general anaesthetic, the type of work you do and your recovery from the gas pains. Another factor to consider is the accessibility of the post-op food that you will need.

Some people go back within a day or two. My surgeon recommended two weeks and I took them.

My surgery was fri oct5, i took 11 dAys off from work. Today i am moving around a lot more, but cant imagine running around at work just yet. Im mainly concentrating on relaxing and healing.

Also keep in mind, you dont know how bad the gas will be. Trust me, u dont wanna be at work with bad gas pains!!
