I am 45 and weighed 250 prior to my sleeve on 3/7. I am approved through 4/7 from our disability area. There is no way I could go back to work earlier. I manage a team of 24 ee's and although not physical it's a large complex which requires a lot of walking. I think I would be ok with the walking but I am so tired daily by 1 pm and need to rest. My family doc says that it is very normal to be tired after surgery (just saw him today).
I am VERY impressed with those who went back after a week or 2. Wow!
I am married and have 3 children and I am taking this time for myself. Yes, I am being selfish !!!! After taking care of everyone else it's my turn.
Good luck
