Recovery periods and healing may vary from person to person and may depend on your overall (pre-surgery) health, weight and type of surgery. Generally it takes 1 to 3 weeks to recover from laparoscopic gastric bypass and 2 to 6 weeks to recover from open gastric bypass surgery. Your surgeon will advise you when it is best to return to work or full activity.
