4 days post op and back to work.

I could honestly probably use one more day but I don't have a choice. So after having by band removal and sleeve in one procedure Friday afternoon I'm heading back to work today. Pain is very mild but still some issues with gas and swelling. Overall recovery for me has been pretty easy, I hope others out there have similar experiences especially if work Is an issue.

Probably more crazy than brave but thanks !!

I will only be taking a week off when I get sleeved. I missed a LOT of work earlier this year due to a DVT. The sleeve is to get my weight down so that history hopefully doesn't repeat itself. My employer is being cool about it, understanding why I need to do this. But at the same time I do not want to push it at all. I have a desk job so I should be ok. I pray for no complications and an easy recovery. ( Easy being relative of course) I hope you do ok today. Just get plenty of rest when you get home!
