[Quianna Armstead 19]

Well i went to the dr yesterday and told him the complications i was having as far as working out and my food intake.i lost 5lbs this week and he was actually upset saying it shouldve been more,to me he is a good surgeon but very arrogant at times.i told.him about.the nausea,fatique,weakness and cramping.and.of course some swelling and pain in my left side.i will be 4 wks post op on the 8th of nov,and of course he wanted me to return to work today,but.bc.my.bp.was up i.got.3 days to rest so.i.return.to work on 11/12 which im still not.understanding why after.i.just had.major abdominal.surgery and i know thats 6wks out.but.as far as my complications i was told to.deal.with.it....

Quianna sorry you are having some complications and pray you start to feel better soon! I took 5 weeks off from work and to be honest I started feeling much better after the 1st week back! The 1 st couple of days were hard and long but now I have been back to work 3 weeks and I am much much better! Wishing you continued success

I went back to work 1 week post op. It actually made me feel better faster. The first 2 days were rough, but I brought Tylenol to last the day. Good luck to you and think positive!

Thank you ladies,as far as tylenol what kind and size are you taking? I was told if it is bigger than a m&m i couldnt take it or i can cut it

I personally bought jr. Strength chewable Tylenol. I took 3 to be an adult strength. I found grape to be the tastiest.

I am a QSR restaurant manager and am wondering the same thing... no surgery date set yet, just completed my sleep study. I am hoping for the week after Turkey Day. I work 10 hour shifts and am on my feet the whole time. What should I expect when I return to work..?? I was originally told 2 weeks...now I am hearing 3-4 weeks... I do not have STDL and really can not afford to take so much time off...

But I do not want that to be a reason for me to regret my choice to have surgery.
