Getting Sleeved May 16th!



Recommended Posts

Wondering how long most have stayed out of work post-op? I work at a hospital and am wondering just how much time I might need to take. I also have a 11 month old and wonder how hard it will be to care for her. My hubby took off two weeks to help out. But I would love to be able to return to work after 2 weeks. I have had 2 csections... Bounced back from them quick. Will this be the same?

Hey girl, I had my surgery on April 2nd and went back to work April 11th. The only thing I can tell you is to expect some discomfort on the left side. If your body allows you to go back to work then I would go back, if not you gone have to chill out. Ask your Dr what his intake is on your recovery process. My Dr told me two weeks depending on how I felt after a week. Good luck!

But with 3 children and a husband they are my main worry. Just want to be able to care for them too. Congrats btw...how are you feeling now after surgery?

I'm starting to feel a little better, the pain on the left side is getting better. Now you are going to need some help with your kids, it's good that you have your husband there to assist you. My Dr told me for the first 3-4 weeks not to lift nothing over 25 pounds. I have a 3 year old and between my daughter and husband they have helped me out a lot. Don't worry everything will be good. I know your anxious, because I was too. If you have any other questions call me 972-835-0642.

LOL i called right away too!! I need as much input as i can get. I was givin my surgery date so quickly that i feel like i have sooo much to do before May 16th. I only met with my doc on April 8th!! Went to an educational seminar on the 9th...got my my date on the 11th. Now for insurance to be approved but i don't think that will be a problem. I have BCBS Massachusetts and they don't require the 6 month weight loss process. Just a Psych eval and my meetings with the nutritionist 3 of them. Which i am have all this done on the same day.

      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.
