After gastric folding surgery, you can usually eat normally in about 2 to 4 weeks, the exact time will depend on the patient’s postoperative recovery. Gastric folding is a surgery used to treat gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), which stops stomach contents from refluxing into the esophagus by fixing the fundus of the stomach to the lower end of the esophagus with sutures; if the patient does not have any adverse reactions after the surgery and has a good recovery, he/she can usually have a normal diet after 2 weeks. If there are symptoms such as difficulty in swallowing or narrowing of the lower esophagus after surgery, the recovery time may be prolonged, and normal diet can be resumed after about 4 weeks. After gastric folding surgery, it usually takes about 2 to 4 weeks before you can eat normally. After the surgery, you should pay attention to rest, slow down the speed of eating appropriately, avoid strenuous exercise, and have regular checkups. If you feel unwell after gastric folding surgery, you should go to the hospital in time and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor, so as to avoid delaying your condition.
