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 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.

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
