by Dr. Madan in Beverly Hills. I know i will be off work Friday but is it reasonable to expect to be back at work on Monday? I have a desk job with very little physical activity. I would like to hear how soon some of you went back to work.

Also, i am a social drinker and enjoy martinis and scotch. I am not a beer drinker so i have no problem with no beer. I was just wondering how soon some of you were able to enjoy a cocktail after being banded.

Thanks

i just got a surgery date today- 9/14, but im switching it to a thursday so that i can have thursday, friday, saturday and sunday off.

yes, i was thinking a Thursday surgery date I would be recovered by Monday enough to go back to work. I know everyone is different but i would still like to hear how soon some of you were back to work.

I am starving, can't wait for Thursday.

I'm going in on a Friday and hoping to be back by Monday (Tuesday at the latest). My twin sister had lapband surgery last year and took a whole six weeks off. She has an excellent employer!!

I do know that she was not allowed to drink alcohol for 1 year. It's something to do with corrosion of the band. You may want to research that before you partake! A year out she enjoys a drink now and then.
