At MASSH, we are committed to ensuring a safe and smooth recovery for every bariatric surgery patient. Our expertise in minimally invasive procedures, such as 3D laparoscopic bariatric surgeries, allows for significantly shorter recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. In most cases, patients can return home the same day if cleared by the medical team. For others, a short observation period of 24 hours may be recommended to monitor initial post-operative progress.
To support long-term recovery and results, we also offer comprehensive post-surgical care tailored to each patient’s needs.
