Really Truly When Might I Expect To Be Back To Work

I am like you a fast healer. I felt pretty good to go the next day. If you really want to get back to work quickly you need to walk walk walk. It will move the gas and you will feel better. Good luck

Maybe for a half day. I had my surgery on Friday and went back to work on Tuesday for, yes, a half-day. If you can take even one extra day (Monday), it might help.

i got banded on thursday and went back to work on tuesday. i am a barber so its all day on ur feet and busy so i was really sore and i always felt i had a high pain tolerance. when i walked it maybe looked like i was a little sore from working out or something. u should be fine to go back on monday. i just got banded 1/12 and i did just start my strenuous workouts with no problem except i can barely move because my muscles are so sore. praiswe jillian micheals 30 day shred. but i felt no strain on my band or any discomfort or anything

I had my surgery on a Monday and went back to work that Thursday.... My only complaint was how tired I felt....pain level was fine by Thursday but boy was I tired. I'd take Monday off and go back Tuesday and hopefully youll be just fine by then!

I had my surgery on a Friday and I went in for a couple of hours on Tuesday - and paid for it. Not with pain, but I was so tired and the next day my body was screaming "you're overdoing". As my husband said: "Don't forget that even though your surgery was laparoscopic, it was still major surgery." If you can take a week off, I would. It takes a few days just to get all of the anesthetic out of your system.

I'm not saying you should stay in bed for a week. Just rest and walk. Do some easy household stuff. If you feel really good, then try going in for a few hours. But don't try to put a limit on yourself before your surgery - if you've got the vacation/sick time, take it. If you do go back early, then you'll still have those days. If not - then you'll be well-rested and not worn out when you DO go back!
