    How long did you take off of work? How long did you actually need? How long were you in pain? What was your job?

    Sorry lots of questions. Trying to figure out how much time I will need. :)

    I'm a nurse by the way, work for a busy pediatric clinic. It does not require lifting, just a lot of sitting/standing.

    Thanks in advance!

    I'm new here, the name is Taylor. :)

    I was sent back to work as a prison guard 2 weeks post op. Was definitely too early considering they said don't lift over 20 pounds for a month....my gun belt weighs me than that and I'm sure wrestling a 300 pound inmate wouldn't be good....I took it easy and tried to avoid a fight and I did ok. 6 weeks post op now.

    I'm self/employed so I had a different focus. I had to get back to work. I took almost 2 weeks off. Probably needed three. I was in excruciating pain from the hernia repair. The sleeve caused some pain but it was manageable. The hernia repair was not. I'm in property. On my feet and active for upwards of 15 hr a day. Gl!

    Thank you. I've been pondering this to the death over this and the one thing that is off where he is concerned is I have a very close friend who is an nfl player. He knows I primarily have male friends always have. I'm the only girl and youngest of 3 brothers. Tomboy through and through. Out of no where he continued to be aggressive where this friend is concerned. Wanting me to eliminate him from my life. That is hysterical to me. No one not even him can dictate who will be my friend. Maybe it's because my friend is number one in his position in the NFL. Seems like jealousy to me. I was willing to discuss so we could move past this. He said no. So now I'm left with the strong feeling I've been duped. He has been with me at my heaviest, encouraging me, loving and supporting me then this.for some unknown reason he believes I cheated on him. That isn't in my nature. I can't change him. I'm not going to plead with him. He wants to have s chat tomorrow. Jury is still out.

    I can certainly commiserate with you. My relationship of 15 years just ended. Devastating? Without question. But we did this for ourselves and with that find your personal strength and self love to guide and support you. We will be fine. This happened 4 days before my birthday. I cried for a week. But as with anything it does get better. Just try and comfort yourself.
