After Surgery: Gastric Bypass
Bariatric surgery is a major procedure, and recovery doesn’t happen overnight.
It’s important to follow your surgeon’s
postoperative recovery instructions.
Basic Instructions
This varies depending on the type of surgery you had and any other individual issues.

Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy
After the initial post-op visit, we need to see you at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery and then annually for 7 or more years. You need to have lab tests done 10 days before certain appointments so that we may review them with you when you come.
Our gastric bypass/sleeve gastrectomy patients come to us from Kernersville, Winston-Salem, Burlington, Greensboro, High Point and nearby communities. Our online seminar will help you learn about the surgery and life after gastric bypass. Schedule your seminar today!
