4 Weeks......but i'm almost 2 Weeks post op

My new life began' date='March 25,2013[/quote']

I was thinking that.i thank u ..

I'm a teacher in an alternative high school (students who are at-risk with emotionally disabilities) and I took six weeks. I was sleeved on 4/30/12. I am 54 and really needed the first month. I was tired, drained, exhausted, and just trying to care for myself and my family. The last two weeks were a gift; I had the chance to work on some new habits and strategies, I was able to ease into a routine, I began to exercise and take better care of myself. I was really happy and ready to return to work and this has been an awesome year.

Hi. I am a hospital nurse. Work on my feet most days with only 15 min break in morning and afternoon and 30 min. lunch break. I took four weeks off and felt ready to work. The first few weeks post op I would get tired easily and it takes that long to get used to your new way of eating. I think I could of gone back at three weeks because that is when my energy level started to get back to normal. Good luck!

I am a firefighter and went back to active duty with no restrictions after 13 days.

The first week after a surgery was hard and I wasnt sure that I would be ready, but after the sixth day I started to get a liitle bit better everday.
