Back To Work?

Hi everyone, I'm curious to know how soon did it take for you to get back to work after you were sleeved? I'm starting a new job in a week and my surgery is scheduled for August 27.

    I was only out for less than a week. Had surgery on a Wednesday and returned to work on Tuesday. I only had pain and nausea for 2 days though! Good luck!!!

    I took about 1 week off. I have a job where I sit so it was approved by my surgeon. She just wants everyone to get up and walk as much as possible.

Hopefully that's all I would have to take off from work!

I just started a new job a few weeks ago, so I understand where you are coming from.

I am scheduled to have surgery on Sept 10th - my plan is to take one full week off and then work the next 2 weeks half days.

I really hope it works out!

Have you told the new job about your surgery or are you planning to wait until it's time?

I took off 3 weeks. I needed every bit of it. You really have to get use to eating again because it is so different after surgery.

Thanks, hopefully I can work and do this at the same time.
