Everyone reacts differently I say allow the least amount of time two weeks. It is major surgery and your will need to heal good luck

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 ????

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
