I am in the process of getting a conversion to sleeve from the Lapband and I'm just curious as to how long should I expect to be off work? I work 2 jobs.... so when I got the band I was out for a few days and back at it and I know this is more of an intense surgery. So any and all responses welcome.

I took off 6 weeks. Works at a job that requires lifting and pulling

I have lots of lifting and pushing/pulling too... I just hope I can get accommodations for a few weeks

Just don't over do it! Make sure you listen to your body.... sounds like you do quite a bit of physical activity. Good luck to you

Thanks! Yeah I work in a "man's world" hahaha good thing about that is I've got quite a few of those boys wrapped and they are usually pretty good about handling the tough stuff when I can't or just don't want to so I'm sure they will help me out if I tell them to

Well I understand. Tomorrow starts my 6 weeks off. Go back to work on the 30th of April

Good luck DeeJack08 I hope all goes well for you and that your recovery is smooth and quick!

I'm only going to be off a week. I am a teacher ands one have a choice I have to go back to work on Monday. We have those lovely state mandated tests in two weeks and I have to be there. So spring break was my only time unless I wanted to wait until summer and I want to be skinny by then!

I understand that. Plus by the summer I want to be slim as well
