Had it on a Monday, went back the following Monday. I was tired but not in any real pain, and I felt better getting out of the house and back into routine. I tend to heal really fast though, and have a freakishly high pain tolerance.

6 weeks for me, but this was a personal choice. I didn't want the mental fog that sometimes happens early in the post-op period.

Iam getting band out and gsv on july 27. I will be in hospital for 2 -3 days. This is standard procedure for this office which is a center of excellence center in long island ny

One week....I had conversion surgery from Band to Sleeve on Monday, 6/29/15...and I went back to work the following Monday, 7/6/15 without any problems.

@@pdptwo1, My surgeon is based in long island, do you mind sharing whose your surgeon?

Dr Shawn Garber. I doing my final preliminary test and don't have a surgery date yet.

I was out for four weeks, which was fine for me. You have to get used to diet it is a little different from your band diet. Good luck

I had the revision on Thursday and will be back in the office at a desk job on Tuesday. Will have to do some work from home tomorrow thou. Ideally would take more time but had to take vacation for the surgery...
