A member asked:
Main difference (recovery wise, etc) between getting lap band and gastric bypass surgery?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
A couple weeks: Recovery following laparoscopic banding or bypass is often less than 2 weeks. You won't be 100%, but should be able to return to a desk job in this time. For manual labor, recovery will be longer. There are many other differences which can't be fully covered in this format. I would recommend looking for a free seminar in your area to further investigate this.
