Does anyone know how long it takes outside stomach to heal after vsg? How long does it take interior stomach to heal?

The incisional wounds on the outside are closed and Ok about 3 weeks after surgery - at that point I was cleared to swim or take a hot bath rather than shower. Internally, you are looking at 6 weeks to 3 months to heal completely. Generally, you are limited to lifting 10 pounds for 3-4 weeks after surgery.

Similarly, your body is going through a major shock, recovering from anesthesia and will take roughly 3 months to start to come back to your new normal.

Yikes! Thank you for replying. Hopeful and looking forward to feeling normal again.

I started feeling normal again about a month ago. I'm almost 4 months post op. Only issue I have now is sleeping. When I lay on either of my sides it starts to hurt and I wake up and flip flop all night.

Well wishes to you! Looking forward to sleeping on my side as well[emoji259]
