Hello,

New here..still in the info gathering process.

I was wondering how long were you on leave from work? I'm sure it varies by doctor but would like to get a general idea.

Thanks in advance! :)

Three weeks. My choice, doc would have let me go back in one week. However, I'm glad I stayed off that long. liquid in, liquid out. Almost uncontrollably. That cleared up just a couple of days before I returned.

I had surgery on Wednesday, September 26th and took off Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from work. Today is Monday and I'm back in the office and feel pretty good with only a bit of soreness in my neck and the largest incision in my stomach.

I wonder how long it would take someone who is a CNA (certified nursing assistant) or someone who works in retail and is on their feet all day?

I'm assuming that a a CNA one would be involved in heavy lifting? I'm a nurse and my doctor told me 6 weeks off. And I'm gonna enjoy each and every minute :)

I'm a nurse, and I took 3 weeks off. It was perfect. My doctor suggested 2 weeks off for anyone in healthcare, if you're getting single incision.

Why do you believe the lap is best for you?

Not judging ... just curious

Others, please do not judge the responses, this is a personal decision.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
