It is generally not recommended to return to work or other normal activities just three days after gastric sleeve surgery. While some patients may feel up to resuming light activities soon after surgery, it is important to give your body time to heal and avoid putting undue stress on your surgical site.
Most patients require at least a week or two off from work after gastric sleeve surgery, and this may be longer depending on the type of work they do and their individual recovery progress. If your job involves physical labor or other strenuous activities, your surgeon may recommend a longer recovery period before returning to work.
It is important to follow your surgeon's specific instructions regarding rest and activity after gastric sleeve surgery to ensure a safe and successful recovery. Rushing back to work too soon after surgery can increase the risk of complications and delay the healing process.
