I'm having surgery on 8/31 and will be back to work on 9/5. Alma said I should be fine as I have a desk job. Also, several peep I've talked to here went straight back to work with few problems.

I did tell my HR Manager just incase I do need to call in sick, but I'm not anticipating it.

Thanks everyone alma is great spoke to her and also said I would be ok one on the 5 latest 6th day she did say everyone is different but I'm also not anticipating any complications I'm a nurse and I pass meds so I don't do heavy lifting and I would be able to sit for small breaks. Nonetheless I'm praying and hoping I would be just fine I know It might not be the same but I endured a lot of pain when I delivered my daughter no anesthesia what so ever and pushed her out in 15 minutes was on my feet the next day due to my daughters condition but I'm hoping a similar recovery ????

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
