Hi Pink Ninja, you may find you get more knowledgeable responses if you post your question in the bypass forum rather than the gastric sleeve forum. But, I will go ahead and tell you my experience -- it would have been a real struggle for me to go back to a physical type job after two weeks post-op from the sleeve. My understanding is that bypass surgery typically requires a bit longer of a recovery period.

I went back to my desk job two weeks post op from the sleeve and I was exhausted still and could not make it through an entire day for the first couple of days. I probably should have taken three weeks off.

That said, recovery period is a really individual thing. I had an easy recovery, no complications, but I was just very tired for a long time. I may be older than you which can also have a bearing on recovery time. Good luck to you!

Thank you so much for your response! I guess I accidentally posted in the sleeve forum, still trying to figure this app out lol
