I only took 3 days but really feel like 2 weeks would have been ideal. Desk job.

sleeved on a Tuesday, back to work on the next Monday. On my feet for about 10 hours. I cook for a living.

Holy moly! don't know how you did that. I was on my feet cooking for about 3 hours for a special meal about 2 weeks post op, and I was exhausted! I was back to work within a few days, but I have a desk job and I work at home.

I am a teacher so I'm planning my band to sleeve revision during summer break so I'll have about 7 1/2 weeks off. I should be all healed and ready to go for the new school year, hopefully! :)

I took 6 weeks. NY requires all employers with over a certain number of employees to carry short term disability. They also don't allow anyone to come back with restrictions. My doc had lift, push, pull no more than 15 pounds for 6 weeks. Hence me being out for 6 weeks otherwise I would have gone back in 3 weeks.

Surgery on Monday morning and back to work the following Monday. Professional job- at desk seeing appointments. The amount of time was perfect! Not too little, not too much.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
