I am scheduled for gastric sleeve on September 18th. I know it's probably been asked before, but for all you post-ops - what was your experience with going back to work. How long did you take off? Anyone go back in 10 days? Did you start back part time? I work in a doctors office, so no heavy lifting but a moderate amount of walking. Plenty of time to rest on and off during the day. Thanks in advance for all your help!
