There are different types of gastric bypass surgery, most of which are major abdominal surgery. Depending on the procedure, your age, ability to heal and general state of health, time in the hospital is somewhere between a few hours and a few days. Recovery can take up to four weeks followed by a gentle return to normal activities. Recovery from major abdominal surgery is not "quick."

Things to consider with Gastric Bypass?
Bypass gastrico is a serious medical decision that should be discussed with doctors, family, friends, and psychotherapists. Ultimately, no one should get the surgery unless they are morbidly obese and would retain some benefit by getting the surgery like not getting a sedentary illness like diabetes, cancer, or premature death. These diseases have a significantly higher risk if a person has obesity, and one of the main reasons to get the surgery is to avert these terrible diseases before they happen. The supposed cosmetic or aesthetic benefits are not enough. Anyone that tells you otherwise is misleading you with marketing information.
