llangsto got a reaction from KRBullardRN in Roll Call Nurses Being Sleeved ...........
I work weekends on an Ortho/Neuro floor and we do a lot of the physical pushing and pulling as well. I took off 11 days and when I came back to work I didn't have any issues. I didn't take any pain meds past the 3rd day post op and as long as I drank my Protein shake everyday lack of energy wasn't a problem either. Maybe my case is the exception, but I really didn't think the surgery was that big of deal. Hopefully yours will be the same too! Good luck to you!

I'm in Jackson, Tn. Right between Memphis and Nashville. I had my surgery at Gateway Medical Center in Clarksville 4/30/12 by Dr Crystal Twynham.
You are certainly NOT the only fat person in Tn! Lol

That's an average of 10lbs a month! That's great! Don't compare your journey to anyone elses- we're all different. Just remind yourself that you didn't put all the weight on over night so don't expect it all to come off over night. Slow and steady is healthy. Congrats and keep up the great work!
