After bariatric surgery, patients usually start noticing visible weight loss within 10 to 15 days, as the body’s metabolism and hormone balance begin to change quickly. In the first 3 to 6 months, the weight drops rapidly, and by about 12 to 18 months, most patients reach their target range.

As for recovery, you can return to light daily activities within a week and resume normal routine work within 2 to 3 weeks, depending on your body’s healing. However, heavy exercise or strenuous activity should be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Regular follow-up with your doctor and proper dietary guidance ensure healthy and sustained results.
