Hi all I was wondering if any of you that have had compilations had any problems with going back to work or missing work after?

I'm about to enter my 4th week post op and have not had any issues so far. I took 2 weeks off (3 days 2 nights were spent in the hospital) for the sleeve. I'm back at work with no issues. Plus walk 5 days a week with no issues. Everyone sleeve journey is differnt though.

That's good news! I had my sleeve on July 15, then went back into the hospital for some complications and returned back to work 9 Weeks from my original date. I missed today because i had problems wee hours this morning and my stomach is hurting really bad. I just hope they dont fire me!

I was sleeved on Friday with lap band removal at same time. I went back to work Tuesday with no problems, Just a little sore and tired.

I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon!!

I am concerned about my turn around time back to work after my sleeve surgery. I wok in a very active, stressful job. Hopefully I can just return on light duty for a few weeks.

I an due to have surgery in Jan 2014 I plan on taking two weeks off and if needed an additional another week after that. I want to get back into the stream of things,

my doctor gives 6 weeks off to recoup. I still felt a sore spot in my tummy but it went ok until just recently. I'm 3.5 months post op and might have some issues. I file FMLA paperwork at work to protect my job because you never know how much time you may need to get back to 100%.

my job is stressful and i need to be on top of things. so taking pain meds that make me drowsy are out of question. probably why i took so many weeks off

I took fmla for 6 weeks my doctor originally gave me 4 weeks and I had them extend it to 6 weeks cause i was dehydrated throwing up still and wanted the extra time. I am a nurse and i work nights on an inpatient floor.
