In general the time to recover from a laparoscopic antireflux operation is 3-4 weeks. Patients should feel the GERD is gone almost immediately, but trouble swallowing, inability to burp and bloating will last nearly a month.
4-12 weeks normally.
It's generally either a day surgery procedure or 1 night in the hospital. I usually recommend people take off 5-10 days of work depending on their job. It may take 6-8 weeks to feel 100% recovered after surgery. Recovery means that your diet has normalized, your energy has returned, and the pain of surgery has resolved completely.
