hello well done to all the loosers.
i just have a Q how long are you meant to stay off work for after a gastric wrap (being the new sleeve).

Sorry, cant help with this one. Did they not tell you? I had a band and was off work for a week. Was the surgery open of laprascopic, recovery from a lap procedure should be quicker. Sorry couldt be of much help!
 
for my bypass they recommended 3 weeks off, and that would have been about right for me, i was feeling human by then (but i was on maternity leave too!)
 
I don't know about your particular proceedure but I had 4 weeks off after a lap bypass. But it's different for every individual. I had 4 weeks off work yet others have had the same op as me and had only 2 weeks off work. It depends on whether you have keyhole or open surgery as well.
