Hi! I am just curious to know how long were you in the hospital post-op, assuming there were no complications of course... Also, how long before you went back to work? Specifically, if you have a desk/computer job, no hard labor, lifting, etc... thanks!

I had to go to surgery center at 6 am Wednesday. Surgery was at 7 and I was back at hotel by 9:30 am. I flew home Saturday night and plan to go back to work tomorrow (Monday) for a full day. I am a bit sore and tired but think I will be fine. I work at a desk so no heavy lifting. I do move around the office quite a bit but I know the movement will be good for me. Doc had me taking four 10-minute walks a day right from the start anyway.

Banded this past Friday the 29th around 9:30am. Left hospital around 1:00 that day. Going back to work full time tomorrow (Monday) morning. Thankfully this has been better than expected.

I was banded on 7/28/11. My surgery was around noon. I left hospital by around 7:30pm. I had a hiatal hyernia taken care of. I think I'll be on sick leave for 1 week (I took sick leave day before surgery, so from 7/27 to 8/3). However, I can do some work at home, so that helps even things out, just have to remind myself not to pick up any heavy casefiles.
