After Surgery

Start walking slowly when you are back to your room after bariatric surgery, and keep walking constantly during the next days. This is for a better and faster recovery of the discomfort caused by the gas and anesthesia used at surgery.
You will stay from one to two nights in the hospital, depending on the procedure done and the physician’s opinion.
Don’t drink liquids until the fluoroscopy test is done, which is the day after surgery. (Before this, just take ice chips to calm the thirst).
You will have a drain, which will be removed 2 or 3 days after surgery. Even with drain placed, you can bath and have regular activities.
Don’t do heavy lifting for 6 weeks, this is to prevent complication in your incisions.
Follow the post-op diet. (1 week clear liquids, 1 week full liquids, 1 week soft diet, and from the 4th week on, you can have complete diet).

**See your post-op diet file.
