My surgery is this week. Just wondering how long it took before you were all able to go back to work (or function full-time working in the home or with kids)?

Thanks for your input!

I'm not concerned about the soreness or being tired when I go back to work. I think I could have done that the 2nd day - it's the mental food issue I deal with. It is contantly on my mind!

Here Here. The head hunger is bad. I have just decided that I don't like food anymore. I wake up in the morning felling like a million bucks. As soon as I start putting liguids in my mouth, I feel like crap....... MY body is hating anything in it right now.....

I was banded on the 20th of June, and I could physically return to work. But I have opted to stay off until July 3rd because I'm still bloated and tender and wearing a bra is very hard. I feel squished together in one and then I have this shelf sitting on my chest while I'm wearing a bra. So I'm taking the extra week off to heal that area and not feel as badly wearing that dang bra all week long. :omg:

On the day following surgery I was able to work half-day, and worked full days after that. I have an office job.

I left the hospital the morning after surgery and went straight to the office for 3 hours. I have been back to work full time after 4 days.

i was banded on 6/6/06 and went back to work on 6/8/06. that said i do sit at a desk all day.

hi i am a chiropractor and post surgery fill doctor in boise idaho. i had the surgery on a friday and was back at work on Monday. I was moving a little slow but i could do it. I might have been harder as i had a vasectomy at the same time. i think i was mostly sore from that.
