I have surgery on the 7th of Sept, a Tuesday. I teach, so getting time off is hard. I am hoping to be able to go back Wednesday. I don't have to do much except stand a little in class, but sitting is ok if I need to.

Anyone able to do this? Is there anything I can do before to make this more likely? Thanks.

I was banded Aug 9 and there was no way I could have went back to work the next day. I was to go home the same day but my doctor wanted me to stay overnight. The 1st 2 days I was in bed and got up to drink and try to walk out the gas. You MUST give your body time to heal or you could have issues with your band. Do you have a TA to can do the class or have another teacher do the two classes. Good luck.

It is painful the first few days to sit or stand. I needed to lay down and be propped up for a few days. There is a lot of pressure on the incision sites when you stand and sit.

It sounds like you have no choice and have made up your mind so good luck!!
