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.

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.
