The LAP-BAND® System - How long will it take to recover after surgery?
If LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding System surgery is performed laparoscopically, patients typically spend less than 24 hours in the hospital. Most patients return to work in about a week, and to exercise in about a month to 6 weeks. In the case of open surgery, or if there are complications, recovery may take longer.
