I was 100% at about a month. I was functioning fine and still attended school after I was discharged but I didn't feel like myself until after about a month.

4 weeks... forgot I had the surgery entirely at 6 weeks, that was when the incision pain was totally gone. hope all is well soon!!!

As for the discomfort with every sip, I would say that lasted a good 2-3 weeks for me. I didn't really feel "normal" again until I was back to eating solid foods at 40 days post op. At that point I would say I felt like my normal self a good 90% of the time.

Everyone's various replies on here answer your question and most other "when" questions........The answer of course is ......Everybody's different. Your time will be your time. ;)

For me, 4 weeks until I felt "normal" again. 5 weeks until I felt no signs of me even having the surgery. (Except for, of coarse, getting full after eating very little food).
