I had surgery on April 16th. I officially went back to work last Thursday but I have not been in the office since before surgery. A lot of people knew I was having the surgery but I think they will be pleasantly surprised how much I've lost already. I am about 28lbs down post op.

I had my surgery on Thursday the 26th and I am going back to work today (Monday the 30th). My abdominal muscles are sore and I am feeling the herina repair, but I need to attend 3 meetings today...fortunately I only have to sit in the meeting. I have brought my liquid pain reliever just in case. I am expecting to be tired and have allowed myself extra time to rest if necessary. Just be careful and take it easy!!!

I had my surgery 4/26/12. I'm a case manager at a non for profit so obviously a desk job.

I was supposed to go back today but with two kids being home all weekend I didn't get much of a recovery time. I'm taking today as a rest/prep day and going in tomorrow. I plan to rest a bit, get my nails done, hair done, an at home facial, and get my clothes out for the rest of the week. I made my hubby call off too (hehehe) so he could help me. I haven't been pampered much as he was busy tending to the little ones but they'll be in daycare today.

I had surgery on 4/23 & was suppose to go back today. I'm a nurse on my feet most of my shift so decided to take one more day. I only work 3 days a week so I will only work tomorrow then off until Saturday. I'm a little nervous about going back. I work in pediatrics so getting kicked or elbowed is usually a daily occurrence. Hopefully my quick reflexes will kick in! Good luck to all that are back to work this week! I'm anxious to see if my clothes are looser, since I've been mostly in PJ's since surgery!

At least there's no heavy lifting......

I had my surgery on Tuesday and I came back to work today... So far so good!

I had mine done on Tuesday 4/24 and also came back to work today! I feel great! I'm a tad bit sore but nothing too bad!

4/24 I had surgery. First day back wad too tough, the has pain was unbeaten! I'm stay home two more days:( kids don't understand my teacher can't move because she hurts.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Work was difficult because I seat behind a desk all day and I still have trouble sleeping...grrr...but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I'm glad no one asked why I was out for 2 days last week.

I went back to work today Felt really good this morning til about 11. Then I started feeling tired and uncomfortable in my abdomen area. Tired to lay down during my lunch hour but after about 15 mins I was up due to feeling nauseated. Went to the bathroom but nothing came up. Thank goodness. The rest of the day was really long. Felt as if I had tons of gas in my stomach and surrounding areas. I think maybe it's from sitting upright all day. Thought I had gotten rid of most of the gas already. When I got off work went to get my son from school and by the time I got there I was feeling sick again. Went to the bathroom felt like I was gonna throw up but never did. Nausea ceased and we made it home. Went to sit in my recliner and lay back some and by about 30 seconds my son had to help me up. Felt nauseated again. Went back to the bathroom only to dry heave a time or two...still feel like crap 30 mins later and only sitting not reclining back. Hubby is on his way home with some gas x strips. Ran out Saturday nut didn't think I would need more....guess I was wrong. Hope this helps me feel better. I would have to say today has been the worst for me. Today makes day 6.
