My doctor had me out of work for a full 6 weeks. He says it's to give my body time to heal and get used to eating and being tired.

So today is my first day back and I am exhausted. Just over an hour left of my shift and I'm barely going to walk out of here lol. I have no idea how some of you go back to work so fast.

Just a small ranting.

Hmm.. I'm a teacher with small children and I'm only taking my Christmas break of 2 1/2 weeks off.

I've had 2 lapband surgeries and 2 emergency removals and returned within a week or so on all of them. Hope this is similar and doable when I'm sleeved on the 14 of Dec

I am taking a week off and then a week of half days. Hopefully, I will be ok returning back to full days by week 3.

I know some can do it. I have fibromyalgia and I'm sure that is adding to it. Plus it's cold and raining here.

My surgeon said he'd like us to take off as long as possible up to our full 6 week limits. I want to take no more than 2 weeks. How long do most Sleevers take? I've seen the range so far is 1 week to a few weeks. The 6 weeks is a first I've seen.

Oh okay, well I understand that.

I had mine 11/7 and went back to work today for half day..I wasn't even due until Thursday..ignition is a on your feet job then it would be harder...but I have office job counseling..so I was ok..git tired but manageable tottally!!..I'm grateful.

I'm going back to work next Wendesday and then out until the following monday. That should be a good getting back to work for me. I probably honestly could go back tomorrow but I developed a cold and I've been napping like crazy!

I work at FedEx office so I took 6 weeks off and then I return 12/16/12 in the middle of peak season. So it's scary.
