Recovery for VGS vs. MGB

[HP62442 11]

I'm having a revision from VSG to MGB in February. For those have done this, how does the recover differ? Were your energy levels different? I have an important test three weeks after my surgery date, which may be ill advised, but it was the only time I could get off work. After the VSG, I went back to work after one week and it was mostly ok.

You really wont know until after surgery. But they type of testing might matter. If its not physical/endurance in nature you could be just fine.

I was revise from VSG to RNY in july. VSG was a bit more of lengthy recovery than I anticipated, RNY (in comparison) was a breeze. *Your mileage may vary*

THANKS! It’s a three day multiple choice/essay exam. I’d fail any type of physical test pre-surgery!

If they let you bring drinks and take a lot of bathroom breaks, you have a really fair chance. Can you call the testing center ahead of time and ask?
