Not nervous at all just wondering how long would it take before I’m up on my feet and is there any hospital stay and how soon would I’m able to return to work those are my concerns I know it depends on the individual

Hello Jeanine Buck. It varies from person to person. I had a lap band taken out and sleeved on 2/23...15 days ago. I had surgery on Tuesday, overnight in hospital. Went home the next day 250 miles way. Went to work in my home office on Thursday. The day I woke up in the hospital from surgery I was uncomfortable from gas they used during surgery. I was able to burp almost all of the gas out before leaving the hospital. I drank alot of Water and walked lot that first day. I have had no pain since. I hope you have as uneventful a recovery as I had. This is not the case with everyone. You will be fine and will not regret it!
