I am a hair stylist and only work 3 days a week. Well I am having my surgery on Tues the 13th. My next day to work is Sunday. Will that be enough time off. I just recently changed jobs so I'm still new and don't wanna ask for more time off than I have to.

Well, you better discuss it with your doctor. I stayed overnight in the hospital and it took a good week before I felt better but everybody's body is different. I had lortab for pain post op.

You'll be on your feet all day if you're a hairdresser so just be aware that this is major surgery and you might want to let your job know you're having surgery. You might be a little uncomfortable. Good luck!

Everyone is different. I had my band placed on a Friday and I went back to work (desk job) on the following Tuesday. I also had no pain or nausea and my boyfriend insisted on driving me to and from the office because he was worried that with the liquid diet I was less alert. You might want to wait and see how you're feeling. Listen to your body and your doctor of course. Best of luck!

I don't know.... What happens if you're not ready?

I'm having my surgery on the 12th and I am returning to work on the 20th. I'm a librarian, so the weight lifting restriction is going to be an issue, but I guess I can work around that. I feel very confident that I'll be able to go back to work as quickly as I am.

I asked the same question and got varying responses. I was able to go back to work in 3 days. But again keep this in mind you may be a bit week and have a funny feeling walking around and moving bec yr body has to get use to the object in yr body. Make sure you drink a lot of Water and take yr Vitamins. Keep posted how it worked out for u.

I have a week before I have to get back to work, I've been told that that should be plenty of time.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
