Hello friends, I'm still pre op until sept 18 my big day ! My question is my dr said 4 weeks off to recover I'm not sure that's going to be enough time . I work on a highway crew, alot of manual physical labor involved with my job . Lifting shoveling and so on ! Is four weeks enough time to heal properly ? Anybody else have a physical demanding job ? There is no light duty work at my place of employment ..

Chaotica, are there things you can eat without trouble or does everything make you sick ?have you talked to your Dr? Hope it gets better for you -
I'm still preop but for me it was my bmi and the heart to heart talk with my surgeon . He was willing to the sleeve but he felt the rny was a better fit for me and after a ton of research I did the rny was my choice . Good luck with your choice
