What is the average down time after this procedure.
Answer: Orbera Downtime Post procedure downtime can be very different for each individual patient. Some patients go back to work the next day, and others require 3 or 4 days off from work. We usually recommend 3 days off but if you feel well enough to go to work the next day you can definitely do that as well.

Answer: Getting back to work. We recommend patients take at least 3 days off before heading back to work. Every patient's body reacts to the Orbera balloon differently. Some patients may experience nausea and are unable to return to work for up to a week, while other my feel perfectly capable of returning to work the next day. It is important to rest and drink plenty of fluids for the first few days. Our providers prescribe medication with the goal of making the first few days of recovery as easy as possible.

Answer: Time off work after Orbera We recommend taking a minimum of 2-3 days off from work. Most people will feel fairly nauseous during that time, and will want to take it easy, rest, and make certain they are staying hydrated. We've had patients return to work the day after their Orbera placement, but we typically discourage this and recommend preparing for the "worst case" scenario, which is up to a week of nausea. We provide medications and 24-hour support to guide you through any of these early side effects, but allowing flexibility in your schedule is a good idea.
