I'm nine days out, and it's still painful to go from sitting to standing. The assorted rest of the pain issues have subsided, but that sit or lay to standing is gripping.

Was your surgery laproscopic? I was just wondering why so much pain still....I plan to have mine on a surgery and go back to work on the following Sunday night....(I work midnights). I talked this over with my surgeon and with some light restrictions he said I could go back then. Now I'm freaking out a bit because I haven't been there long enough to have vacation time to use.

I was totally able to go back to work in 2 days. I probably could have gone back the very next day.

Mine was laproscopic, but I also had gastric plication, he repaired a hiatal hernia, and took out my gallbladder. It's hard to know what's causing what, but the pain from sitting to standing is where the largest incision is; in and around where the port is.

My pain isn't debilitating, it's just....there. I can walk fine, and it's not so bad that it keeps me down. I get tired in the afternoons & rest. But it's better and better each day.

If I'm calculating correctly, you will have 11 days to recoup before going back to work? If that's correct, and as long as you do not have a job that requires lifting or being on your feet for hours at a time, you should probably be okay. But I'm basing that on the overall comments I've read in this forum, from lap band only surgeries.
