How much recovery time do I need?

Depending on the type of Bariatric Surgery; recovery times vary from 2 to 4 weeks, and perhaps a little more due to the feeding stages that the patient must go through and the gradual movement recovery since it is recommended not to make any kind of effort with the abdomen. Laparoscopic surgeries are minimally invasive and have shorter postoperative times, easy compliance and less discomfort to the patient.  Schedule your appointment with the NewCity Medical Plaza specialists and achieve your weight loss goals without complications.
