    Default a bit confused, how long it takes for the stomach to fully heal?

    after readying a lot of posts I got really confused; how long it usually takes for the stomach to heal after VGS? some said 4 to 6, some said 8 weeks some said 6 months. I did my VGS a month ago exactly.

    Three weeks.
    That is what bariatric surgeons say.
    English is not my first language anymore, so I may and do make mistakes in my spelling, or say things oddly. Please ask me, if you want any clarifications.

    lol
    Well, there you have it... even the surgeons have no concensus.

    Generally 4-6 weeks. There is some variation as everyone heals differently.
