Thanks everybody! I had to spend an extra night in the hospital because I couldn't get my nausea/puking under control. Other than that and some occasional irritating gas pains, everything else is going good. I'm getting in many laps at the hospital and really no pain at all on surgery sites.

This morning, Mrs. LittleBill up and left me. You might say I drove her to it - literally. She is traveling out to visit our middle daughter and her family to help watch the little monsters while our son-in-law is out of town on a trip. She is also taking a car out to them that they are acquiring from my parents. So, I drove her to pick it up at Mom and Dad's house early this morning.
She plans to come back though, so I am not a permanent bachelor. But for the next little while, I will be eating my high Protein, low carb meal selections off paper plates using plastic forks and spoons, and quaffing my liquids from a paper cup. Because hey, that's what bachelors do, right? I know there are other things bachelors do, but I have already been warned not to do them. So I will content myself with paper products and not putting the seat down on the toilet. It's a wild life around here, let me tell you.

Thank you so much love! Best of luck on your journey as well! God bless

Well I got the call have to be at the hospital at 6 a.m. tomorrow. I'm a mess in a good way and a bad way, lol! Here's my before pics, can't believe I'm sharing these but pretty soon they'll be a distant memory. Don't have an accurate weight because every scale is different. I was 247.8 at home this morning(and I'll do check-ins here too), which is 12# less than my PCP scale. My highest weight was 300+#'s. First goal is to finally get under 200! Final goal see pics below

I was sleeved on 10/13 high weight 260, surgery weight 242 and today after almost a full month stall I made it!!! I haven't been under 200 in almost seven years and only twice in my adult life..

I finally have a date! I feel like I'm being swept off my feet. I keep hearing the date over and over in my ears. I cant believe a year ago, I didn't even know there was such a cure, and here I am about to start living the healthy life I deserve. Its becoming real and I absolutely can not wait. I only know a few people who have gone through this, but I would welcome any comments or support!

Just missed one month. This is my weight loss evolution ❤️

Everyone is different so it could go both ways. I go back to work on Tuesday and my surgery was on 11/22. I did have some complications along the way but so could you. Two weeks could very well be just fine but there is that possibility that it may not be enough.

Everyone is different but if you can avoid picking up squirming tots when you go back, you might be ok. I had my surgery on a Tuesday and showed up for the four days of summer pre-service training the following Monday. The students didn't return for another week. I was fine, just had difficulty remembering to get in all my Water. You have to prioritize yourself - sooner is better then later! Best luck!

I started drinking the Protein Shakes and Protein bars instead of breakfast and lunch and its very filling . Sent from my N9132 using the BariatricPal App

I have started replacing two meals with Protein shakes or Protein Bars since I first met with my Dr. He said that was great it would make the surgery easier. I have about 2.5 more months until surgery.

Hope it is going well for you! I would have loved to do it over Christmas break but I had to wait on insurance. Thanks! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using the BariatricPal App

I'm a K teacher and am going back after 3 weeks. I took an extra week at the front of Christmas break. My surgeon was ok with my time frame.

Hi. I had my surgery 2 weeks before the start of school this year - I'm a pre k teacher in the Bronx. Besides needing help to set up my classroom I was fine.
I imagine at this point of the year you know your kids pretty well and know whether you need to be concerned about anyone acting out.
Otherwise, assuming you have a 'normal' surgery with no complications I think you should be fine.

I had surgery on Dec 20. And I've already lost 24lbs!

I am so happy with how 2016 went.
I had my revision from VBG of 20 yrs ago to RNY.
I no longer deal with daily sickness and ammune system issues from years of struggle with VBG.
I have lost 100 lbs, only 18 more to go, and fit in clothes I have not wore in 15 years. (32 waist, and medium shirts)
I am the strongest and have more energy than I have in many years
I am looking forward to 2017, rather than dreading another crappy vegetative feeling year.
I wish the best to all on this forum, and thank you for your support this year.

I took two weeks, could have gone back after one but glad I stayed home and rested for the second week.

I went back to work the Monday after my Wednesday surgery, but I have a sedentary job.
You can probably do it, but know that you will be exhausted for the first month, so make certain you've got someone to help with the household chores and any child care. You'll need to come home and rest.

I had surgery on 12/21, and I returned to work on 12/29. I feel just fine, but feel a little weak after walking short distances.
