How long were you sleevers off work? I'm waiting on insurance to see if I'm accepted. I should know within a month.

I had my revision from Lapband to Sleeve on Aug 15th, 2012... I am still on disability now- I return to work on Sept 17th. I took a little extra time to get used to the new lifestyle.

_{Surgery Thursday Aug 30th, back to work today. (Sept 4)}

I go back to work Monday 9/9 and had surgery on 8/20..... I guess I have to.....

Surgery was 7/23, back to work 8/6. First week back was rough, but everything is pretty much back to normal now.

I took 2 weeks, which was at least a week more than I needed. I felt great after a week. Everybody heals differently, so you will get a wide variety of answers. Good luck!

I think it depends on your job. I took 3 weeks off but I work In a hospital and am on the go for 12 hours a day, so I felt I need as much time as my dr would give me. If I worked 9-5 in an office I prob could go back after 1.5-2 weeks

I had surgery on 8/27 and I have 6weeks off!! But my job I have to lift over 5lbs so that was my Dr.'s rectrictions. I would take more if they let me LOL. But I get payed being off.

I had surgery on 8/27 and went back to work on 8/30. I don't do any lifting as I work from home on the computer. I didn't feel 100% but good enough to pull a 8-5. I think a week would be a good amount of time if you have a desk job. if you do lifting or more strenuous work you may need more time.

I work with physically and mentally disabled people. Not to much lifting but some clients need help. We usually have 2 staff on during the day so we can tag team. Thank you so much for all your answers! I'm getting excited!!!
