How long for energy to return after surgery?

[C Noel 0]

How long did it take, after VSG, to return to pre-op energy levels and mental clarity? I am planning on returning to work 4 weeks after surgery. My job is fast passed and I must be able to keep up mentally as much as physically.

I was good at a desk job about 3 weeks after surgery. Thinking was fine. For 100% of my energy to return, it took almost 2 months.

100% of energy was almost 2 months for me as well. The first 6 weeks, i was fine mentally after the first week, but my body just wanted to sit and not do much anywhere. I walked some, but it was a good 6 weeks before i had the energy to do anything outside of work on a regular basis. I am now almost 3 months and have a super amount of energy.

Everyone's body reacts differently, just listen to your body, if your tired relax don't over do it.
