Just a question.

I have not had my surgery yet but I was wondering if you guys could give me some insight. How long was it before you went back to work after the sleeve surgery? I work in an office where I'm sitting most of the day. Just trying to get an estimate of the time I'll need to take off. Thank you in advance! :)

      I only took a week off, but I was really tired in my second week when I went back to work (not strenuous work either). I would suggest taking 2 weeks off if possible.

      there have been many posts about this during the months I've been a member here, so I can fairly confidently give you the general response and summary...most people have no complications and have said

      If you can get 2 weeks take it!!! You will feel better after a week but your energy level will be very low. Give yourself the time if you can. Good luck to you!!

    I have a desk job & took 2 weeks. Had surgery 7/2, no complications, & will be going back 7/16. I do expect to be pretty tired that week though.
