How long will it take to recover after my procedure?
If Lap Band surgery is performed laparoscopically, as it most frequently is, patients typically spend less than a day in our surgery facility. You should be up and walking within 45 minutes of your procedure which will help blood flow and circulation. True Results patients typically have the Lap Band procedure in the morning and are able to return home later in the afternoon. Depending on the type of work you do, your medical history, and your doctor's recommendation, you should be ready to return to work comfortably between three to five days and a month to six weeks before you can resume exercising. In the case of open surgery or if there are complications, recovery may take longer.
