Hello. Recovery time will depend on your ability to recover from surgical anesthesia. Normally, with gastric bypass surgery, without complications, the patient will be monitored in the recovery room for 2 hours, then will be transferred to the Department of Surgery for further treatment.
During the time the patient is in the recovery room, family members can visit but need to ensure the time and the principle of sterility in the recovery area after surgery.
