Im having my sleeve in may.....everyone at work asks how long ill be out......i work at a grocery store...in the deli....standing lifting...putting loads away.....i tell them when ever dr..says its time....can you guys...give me...ur experience s

I would say at least 4 weeks

My doctor said I can not lift anything over ten pounds for 4 weeks.

My dr was a bit more strict and didn't want me lifting anything heavy (over 10lbs) til I was fully healed at 8 weeks. Check with your surgeon first tho.

Thanks everyone....my deli manager asked me if i would be back...i. A couple of days...i laughed..and told her its surgery...

Take as long as your Dr. recommends and based on what you can afford! My surgeon says 3-4 weeks, but me being incredibly stubborn and not wanting to inconvenience others took a week and a half off of work! It was very stupid and I feel it has dragged out my recovery.

I was trying to be all tough and said I would be back in 10 days lol ( I work in a hospital) I was out 4 weeks and I'm still on restrictions for 2 more weeks.

They ask me...i just say......WHEN EVER DR..RELEASES ME.....I HAVE SICK LEAVE...AND.AFTER THAT DISABILITY KICKS IN...
